What is the neural tube derived from and where does it develop?
Derived from ectoderm and depelops posterior to the notochord
What does the neural tube become?
Central nervous system
What is the neural crest?
Crest of cells that develops superficial to the neural tube
What does the Neural crest become?
Peripheral Nervous System
The CNS becomes?
The brain and Spinal Chord
THe PNS becomes?
the spinal nervee
1.cranial nerves
2. ganglia
What does the ganglia do?
carries info between the CNS and the skin and muscle
CNS includes all tissue in?
The brain and spinal cord
PNS includes all tissue in?
peripheral to the CNS, peripheral nerves
The CNS ___________ sensory information from the ______: this is incoming or ____________ information; which means senasation (pain temp, etc)
-interprets
-PNS
-afferent
*sensory neurons do this
CNS sends _______ responses to the ____: these are outgoing or efferent commands (signals that produce movement)
motor
PNS
What does the CNS control?
It controls the action of muscles in the organs and systems in response to sensations

*motor neurons do this
A function of the CNS also includes __________ and ________________ "higher functions" What does this include and what makes it do this?
processing and coordinating

-consciousness
-intelligence
-memory
-learning
-emotion

*interneurons do this (integrate info)
The PNS delivers __________ information from receptorsin the periphery (skin and muscles to the CNS)
-sensory
*its sensory neurons do this
The PNS delivers __________ commands from the ________ to the muscles in the periphery
-motor
-CNS

*motor neurons do this
These are neurons that usually detect"receive" sensations
Receptors
There are __ divisions of the ________ portion of the PNS
2

motor
The first division of the PNS is :
Somatomotor Nervous System (somata=body wall)
The somatomotor vervous system controls what?
The Skeletal Muscle Contractions
Skeletal Muscles are associated with:
-The skeleton
-Voluntary muscle contractions
-Some reflexes (involuntary contractions)
The 2nd division of the Motor portion of the PNS is?
-autonomic nervous system (visceromotor Nervous system)
The autonomic nervous system influences which muscle contraction?
-cardiac and muscle
Smooth and Cardiac muscles are associated with what?
-visceral organs (heart, blood vessels, gut)
-involuntary contractions
-glandular secretion
There are two parts to the Autonomic system, what are they?
Sympatheitic and parasympathetic division
The sympathetic division of the ANS __________ the body
stimulates

- "flight or fight" (heart rate goes up)
The parasympathetic system of the ANS __________ the body
relaxes

*"rest and digest" heart rate goes down
Nervous Tissue is composed of ____ Cell Neurons
2
What are the two cell neurons that compose the vervous tissue?
Communicate: send signals to other neurons in the body or muscles

Glia: support the neurons, regulate ionic environment around neurons, and are ESSENTIAL for survival and funtioning of neurons
What are Three main components of a typical neuron?
-Cell body(receives and sends incoming signals form other neurons)
-Dendrites: receive incoming signals from other neurons
-Axon: carries outgoing signals to other neurons or muscles
-Synaptic Nerve Terminals: ends of axonx, signal is transferred to other cell
LOOK AT Which slide an memorize?
GLIAL CELL in Lecture 10!
Myelin is composed of what?
Lipids
Myelin ___________ axons ans ___________ the speed of action
insulates


increases
What do Scwann cells do?
myelinate axons in the PNS
__ Scwann cell myelinates only __ segment of ___ axon.
1
1
1
Where do oligodendroglial cells myelinate axons?
in the CNS
Each oligo myelinates __ axon segment but of _______ (word) axons
1


many
What is an Action Potential?
An electrical signal that travels along axon and is transmitted from the presynaptic neuron's nerve terminals to the post synaptic cell at the synapse
A synapse is the site of ________ between the ________ terminals and antoher cell
-contact
-nerve
What are the two types of Synapses?
Neuron/Neuron junction-synapse between two neurons

Neuro muscular junction: synapse btwn neuron and muscle fiber
