Organization of the Nervous System:
• Organs:– Brain– Spinal cord– Sensory organs• Eyes• Ears• Nose• Tongue• Skin
![Page 4: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Neuron: nerve cell
• Parts of a neuron:– Cell body– Dendrites: Short branches off the neuron. Takes
in information from the environment or other cells.
– Axon: Long branch. Transmits information to other cells
![Page 5: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
![Page 6: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Myelin sheath:
• “Pillows” that wrap around the axon, insulating it and making nerve signals travel faster.
![Page 7: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Synapse: Gap between neurons.
![Page 8: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Three classes of neurons:
• Sensory neurons: Carry information from the body or environment to the brain and spinal cord.
• Motor neurons: Carry information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands.
• Interneurons: Relay information between sensory and motor neurons.
![Page 9: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Sending signals
• Nerve impulses travel in one direction only.
![Page 10: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Path of a nerve impulse:1) Stimulus triggers electrical impulse in
dendrite of sensory organ.
![Page 11: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2) Electrical impulse travels through the cell body and down the axon, “leaping” between the gaps in the myelin.
![Page 12: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
3) Electrical impulse causes end of axon to release neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) into the synapse.
![Page 13: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
4) Neurotransmitters move across synapse.
![Page 14: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
5) Neurotransmitters bind to dendrites of second neuron.
![Page 15: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
6) Binding triggers an electrical impulse in the second neuron.
![Page 16: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Two divisions of the nervous system:
• Central nervous system (CNS):– The brain and spinal cord– Communication, memory, thought.
![Page 17: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Peripheral nervous system (PNS):– Connects brain and spinal cord to the rest of the
body.– Divided into:• Somatic nervous system–Voluntary actions
• Autonomic nervous system– Involuntary actions
![Page 18: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
22.2 Brain and Spinal Cord
• Brain: Allows for reasoning, intelligence, analysis of situations, communication, creation, feeling, and learning.
![Page 19: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Vertebrae
• (singular: vertebra)• 33 irregularly-shaped
bones that protect the spinal cord.
• Fluid in the spine also helps protect the spinal cord.
![Page 31: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Paralysis:
• Damage to the spinal cord can cause paralysis, because the brain cannot communicate with the body beyond the damaged area.
![Page 34: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Reflexes:
• Automatic, involuntary response to a stimulus.
![Page 35: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Reflex arc:
1) Stimulus triggers impulse in sensory neuron to interneuron in the spinal cord.
2) Interneuron sends impulse to motor neuron.3) Motor neuron causes muscles to move.
*Controlled in the spinal cord, not the brain.
![Page 36: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
22.3 The Senses
• Sensory receptors: Special cells in sensory organs that can detect light, mechanical, chemical, or thermal energy.
• Sensory receptors change these energies into electrical impulses that are sent to the brain to be processed.
![Page 37: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Sight:
• Light energy is detected and turned into images.
• Two kinds of photoreceptors:– Cones: Day vision. Sensitive to red, blue, and
green light.– Rods: Night vision. Not sensitive to colors.
• Retina: Thin layer of tissue on the back of the eye that contains rods and cones.

Hearing:
• Detection of sound waves (vibration).• Cilia: tiny hairs on receptor cells that change
the vibrations into an electrical impulse.• Cochlea: Contains the receptor cells.
![Page 41: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Balance:
• Sensed in the ears.• Semicircular canals contain tiny hair cells, jelly-
like fluid, and ear stones (otoliths).• Ear stones move around and bend hair cells when
the body moves.• Hair cells send impulse to the brain.• Brain interprets the impulse, and if the body is
losing balance, contracts or relaxes muscles to restore balance.
![Page 43: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Smell:
• Chemical enters the nose and binds with sensory receptors.
• This triggers an electrical impulse, which the brain interprets as smell.
![Page 44: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Taste:
• Sensory receptors on the tongue (especially in the taste buds) detect different chemicals.– Sweet– Salty– Bitter– Sour– Umami (meaty, savory)
![Page 45: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Touch:
• Different receptors detect pressure, temperature, and pain.
• Sensory receptors in the skin detect chemicals, heat, and mechanical energy.

• In the brain.• Connects nervous and endocrine systems.• Controls the pituitary gland.
![Page 52: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Pituitary gland:
• Connected to the hypothalamus.• Secretes 9 different hormones.– Examples:• Growth hormone: Protein production, cell growth and
regulation.• Follicle-stimulating hormone: Sperm production or
egg cell release.• Prolactin: Milk production.• Thyroid-stimulating hormone: Triggers thyroid to
produce and release thyroxine.
![Page 53: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Pineal gland:
• Tiny gland deep in the brain (size of a bean).• Produces melatonin: controls body rhythms,
such as the sleep-wake cycle.
![Page 54: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Thyroid gland:
• Located at the base of the neck.• Produces thyroxine: controls cell break down
of chemicals and energy release.
![Page 55: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Pancreas:
• Found in the abdomen. Also part of the digestive system.
• Produces insulin and glucagon, which regulate the sugar in the blood.
![Page 57: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Thymus gland:
• Located in the upper chest.• Helps the body fight disease.– Helps form T-cells in the blood that fight infection.
![Page 58: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Adrenal glands:
• Two glands, one located above each kidney.• Produce adrenaline, which cause the “rush”
you feel when nervous, excited, or coping with stress.
• Also produces 24 other hormones.
![Page 59: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Reproductive glands:
• Control secondary sexual characteristics.• Male: Testes– Produce testosterone: Sperm production.
• Female: Ovaries– Produce estrogen and progesterone • Development of egg cells, control the
menstrual cycle
![Page 60: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Controlling the endocrine system:
• Negative feedback system: Hormones or products of their effects feed back to stop original signal. Maintains homeostasis.
• Like a thermostat in a house.
![Page 61: Chapter 22: The Nervous and Endocrine Systems](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052213/568166ae550346895ddaa375/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Example: Controlling blood sugar.
1) Hypothalamus detects low blood sugar.2) Hypothalamus stimulates pituitary gland to
release growth hormone.3) Growth hormone travels through bloodstream to
liver.4) Liver cells are triggered to release glucose.5) Increased glucose in the blood is detected by the
hypothalamus, which triggers the pituitary gland to stop releasing growth hormone.
