Neurons: The building block of the nervous system!
• The nervous system:– The electrochemical communication
system of the body
• Sends messages from the brain to the body for movement
• Brings information to the brain from the senses
![Page 3: Chapter 3: The Biological Bases of Behavior Module 7: Neural and Hormonal Systems](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfa41a28abf838c975db/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Neuron
• The basic building block of the nervous system -- a nerve cell
• Neurons perform three basic tasks
– Receive information
– Carry the information
– Pass the information on to the next neuron
![Page 4: Chapter 3: The Biological Bases of Behavior Module 7: Neural and Hormonal Systems](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfa41a28abf838c975db/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Neurons and “firing”
• Neurons “fire” -- send an impulse down their length -- or they don’t “fire”
• Neurons come in a variety of shapes, sizes, etc.

Parts of the Neuron - Terminals
Here are your choices:
terminal branches, axon, soma, myelin sheath, neural impulse, dendrites

![Page 7: Chapter 3: The Biological Bases of Behavior Module 7: Neural and Hormonal Systems](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfa41a28abf838c975db/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Neural Communication: The neural impulse
• Action potential– A brief electrical charge
that travels down the axon of the neuron.
– A neural impulse– Considered an “on”
condition of the neuron
• Refractory period:– The “recharging phase”
when a neuron, after firing, cannot generate another action potential
– Once complete the neuron can fire again
• Resting potential:– The state of a neuron when
it is at rest and capable of generating an action potential
– The neuron is set and ready to fire

![Page 9: Chapter 3: The Biological Bases of Behavior Module 7: Neural and Hormonal Systems](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfa41a28abf838c975db/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
All-or-None Principle
• The principle that if a neuron fires it will always fire at the same intensity– Either fires or it doesn’t
• All action potentials are of the same strength.
• A neuron does NOT fire at 30%, 45% or 90% but at 100% each time it fires.
![Page 10: Chapter 3: The Biological Bases of Behavior Module 7: Neural and Hormonal Systems](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfa41a28abf838c975db/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Communication between Neurons:
• Synapse:
• The tiny, fluid filled gap between the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron
• The action potential cannot jump the gap
• Neurotransmitters:
• A chemical messenger that travels across the synapse from one neuron to the next
• Can influence whether the second neuron will generate an action potential or not

Excitatory Effect Inhibitory Effect
• A neurotransmitter effect that makes it more likely that the receiving neuron will generate an action potential (impulse)– The second neuron is
more likely to fire.
• A neurotransmitter effect that makes it less likely that the receiving neuron will generate an action potential (impulse)– The second neuron is
less likely to fire.

Neural Communication: The Neural Chain
Receptor Cells Sensitory Nerves• Specialized cells in the
sensory systems of the body that can turn other kinds of energy into action potentials that the nervous system can process
• Receptor cells in the eye turn light into a neural impulse the brain understands.
• Nerves that carry information toto the central nervous system
• Connect the sense organs to the brain and spinal cord

![Page 43: Chapter 3: The Biological Bases of Behavior Module 7: Neural and Hormonal Systems](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfa41a28abf838c975db/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Endocrine System
• One of the body’s two communication systems– Slower to awaken, slower to shut down
• A set of glands that produce hormones
![Page 44: Chapter 3: The Biological Bases of Behavior Module 7: Neural and Hormonal Systems](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfa41a28abf838c975db/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Hormone
• Chemical messengers produced by the endocrine glands and circulated in the blood– Similar to neurotransmitters in that they
are also messengers
• Slower communication system, but with longer lasting effects
![Page 45: Chapter 3: The Biological Bases of Behavior Module 7: Neural and Hormonal Systems](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697bfa41a28abf838c975db/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Pituitary Gland
• The endocrine system’s gland that controls the other endocrine glands– “Master gland” (size
of pea)
• Located at the base of the brain and connects to the hypothalamus
• Brain gets this gland to release hormones that stimulate/inhibit release of other hormones.– Also releases
hormones related to physical growth and pregnancy.

Adrenal Gland
• Endocrine glands that help to arouse the body in times of stress
• Located just above the kidneys
• Release epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline)– Enhance strength and endurance in
emergency situations

Sex Glands
• Ovaries (females) and testes (males) are the glands that influence emotion and physical development.– Testosterone – primary males hormone– Estrogen – primary female hormone
• Males and females have both estrogen and testosterone in their systems.
