Function: Info in/out of body (Sensory), Process @ brain/spine (Intergration), Process info to muscle, gland, organs (Motor )

Nervous Sys: 2 Divs

Neuron: basic cell of NS- transmits impulses
Central (CNS): brain and spinal chord
Impulse= dendrite>cell body>axon
Peripheral (PNS): everything else
Dendrite:get stimulus + carry impulse > cell body
Somatic: vol. control Relays into from
skin and skel. muscles
Cell Body:nucleus & most of cytoplasm
Autonomic: invol. Relays info to
Axon:fiber - carry impul. away from cell body
internal organs
Schwann Cells: make myelin/fat layer PNS
- Sympathetic: organs in stress (fli/figt)
Myelin sheath:lipid layer. Insulates axon -axon look gray
- Parasympathetic: organs at rest
Node of Ranvier: gaps/nodes in myelin sheath
Brain:-Brain stem: medul, pon, mdbr
Sensory
neurons bring messages to CNS
-medulla: vital reflexes ex <3 beat + Impulses:Na
+
& K+ across the cell membrane Action potential: form impuls
respiration
by polarization + repolarization 1) impulse open Na +Gate. Na MOVE INTO
-pons, midbrain: Invol respons +
neuron (inside more positive vs outside=depolarized)2) K +Gate open K
relay info to upper brain
FLOW OUT (inside neg= repolarized) Refractory period cant impulse.
-Diencephalon thalamus &
Excitability: neun ability. to respond to stimulus+convert to nerve impulse
hypothalamus
All or Nothing Rule: stimulus=strong enough start impulse/nothing happens
-Cerebellem: mvmnt coord+ motor - Impulses= same strength & Self-Propagation:if starts, conti. to end
learning
Dendrite>cellbody>axon
-Cerebrum: consci. acti.=perception
Outer Ear & ear canal: brings sound into eardrum
emotion, thought, planning
Meninge: 3 coverings for brain&spine. cushion, Eardrum :vibrates to amplify sound & separates inner
Thalamus: Brains switchboard- protect + nourish B+SC
and middle ear
filter + relays info to various brain -dura -arachnoid mater: -pia mater:
Middle ear : 3 small bones or Ossicles = anvil, stirrup,
regions
-cerebrospinal fluid,
stapes amplify sound (small bones) which vibrate
Hypothalamus: regul. act. internal
sound Eustachian tube :connects middle ear to throat
organs, monitor info from
+ equalizes pressure on eardrum Cochlea:in inner ear
Autonomic NS, control tpituitary
has receptors for sound & sends signals to brain Taste
gland + its hormones, regulate sleep
and Smell Chemical Receptors Taste buds: swt,

sour bitter, salty, umami (salt of acids) . Are receptor
cells w/ tiny hair detect chemicals, send impulse to brain
Brain waves: rhythmic fluctuation of
Smell Receptors or Olfactory receptors: in roof of
electric potential btw parts on
nasal cavity. have tiny hairs of nerve fiber in mucus.
electroencephalogram (EEG).
Chemicals dissolve in mucus, absorb by hair, transmit
impulse to brain.
Cerebrum: 2/3 brain -2 Hemisp / by corpus callosum
- Cerebral Cortex: aka gray matter (b/c has cell body+synaps but no myelin)
-Coretx=gray b/c nerves =/= myelin (white). Covers outer of cerebr/bell.
-Gyri: folded bulges create Suki: deep furrow/fissure. Folds = ^ SArea
- Medullary body: white matter of cerebrum & made of myelinated axons
Commisural fibers: conduct impulses btw hemispheres & form corpus
callosum
Projection fibers: conduct impulse in and out of the cerebral hemispheres
Association fiber: conduct impulses within hemispheres
- Basal ganglia masses of gray matter in each hemisphere which are involved in
the control of voluntary muscle movements
Lobes and Special regions:
Frontal: motor area involved in movement + planning & coordinating behavior
Parietal: sensory processing, attention, and language
Tempora: auditory perception, speech, and complex visual perceptions
Occipita: visual centerplays a role in processing visual information
Brocas are: located in the frontal lobe imptt in production of speech
Wernickes area: comprehension of language & production of meaningful speech
Limbic Syste:a group of brain structures (aamygdala, hippocampus, septum, basal

Peripheral Nervous System

Cranial nerves: 12 pair -Attached to undersurface of brain
Spinal nerves: 31 pair -Attached to spinal cord
Somatic Nervous System (voluntary)
Relays information from skin, sense organs & skeletal muscles to CNS
Brings responses back to skeletal muscles for volun. responses
Autonomic Nervous System (involuntary)
Eye: 3 layers Outer layer: sclera and cornea Middle layer: choroid, ciliary
Regulates bodies involuntary responses Relays information to internal

Allergies:hypersensitivity of the immune system

Asthma:obstructive pulmonary disorder- bronchial walls muscles spasms breathing difficult - causes
airways of lungs to swell and narrow, leading to wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness coughing
Autoimmune Disorder: immune system mistakenly attacks +destroys healthy tissue ex:Addison's
disease , Celiac disease - (gluten-sensitive enteropathy), Graves disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, MS,
Myasthenia gravis, Pernicious anemia, Rheumatoid arthritis, Systemic lupus erythematosus, Type I
