NeuroanatomySynapseSynapse
Neurotransmitters (chemicals held in terminal buttons that travel through synaptic gap)
![Page 20: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Parts of a Neuron
Cell Body: Life support center of the neuron.
Dendrites: Branching extensions at the cell body. Receive messages from other neurons.
Axon: Long single extension of a neuron, covered with myelin [MY-uh-lin] sheath to insulate and speed up messages through neurons.
Terminal Branches of axon: Branched endings of an axon that transmit messages to other neurons.
![Page 21: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Parts of a neuron:

![Page 22: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
1. Resting potential……
• Draw the axon membrane at resting potential
Na+ (sodium) is outside the membrane
K+ (potassium) is inside the membrane too, but a mainly negative charge exists INSIDE the membrane.
![Page 23: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Polarized
• At resting potential, we say the cell is polarized, that is, the + and – charge are at opposite position (one is in the membrane, one is outside).
![Page 24: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2. Threshold Threshold: Each neuron receives excitatory and inhibitory signals from many neurons. When the excitatory signals minus the inhibitory signals exceed a
minimum intensity (threshold) the neuron fires an action potential.
Gas vs. brake pedals of a car!!!!
![Page 25: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
3. Action Potential4. Depolarization
Action Potential-if threshold is reached, process of firing begins. Gates open and Na+ ions begin moving in and out of the axon Depolarized- during action potential when the ions are moving in and out.
![Page 26: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Action PotentialA neural impulse. A
brief electrical charge that travels down an
axon and is generated by the movement of positively charged atoms in and out of
channels in the axon’s membrane.
![Page 27: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
5. Refractory
•Refractory period- for a short time (before the ions can return to original position) the neuron can’t fire again immediately
•Ex: when you flush a toilet, you can’t flush again immediately
![Page 28: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
6. Repolarize
• The ions must go back to original position to be ready to fire again.
• EX: This is like when the toilet bowl is filling up with water
![Page 29: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The All-or None Response
• The idea that either the neuron fires or it does not- no part way firing.
• Again, you can’t “kinda” flush a toilet!!
![Page 30: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Review• Put the following events in their proper order
transmission to your “Study Buddy” :• Refractory
• Depolarized• Resting potential• Action potential
• repolarize• Threshold
• Excitatory vs. inhibitory signals• polarized
![Page 31: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
How does the brain perceive intensity, like pain?
By the number of times the neuron fires!!!!!!
How does the process create an electrical charge?The transfer of ions crossing the axon’s membrane causes an electrical charge.
![Page 32: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Review:How does a Neuron fire?
• 1. Resting Potential: the neuron before it fires- is polarized
• 2. Threshold reached- more excitatory than inhibitory signals
• 3. action potential begins• 4. axon is depolarized – ions
move in and out• 5. refractory/repolarization-
reloading of ions- filling up the toliet bowl
![Page 33: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
So….how do nerve cells communicate?
• Do nerve cell touch each other and send the electrical charge to each other?
• How would they know what “message” to send?
• No!! They do not touch!
• They are separated by a tiny gap.
• So…how does each cell communicate across a gap?
![Page 34: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
At the Synapse
Synapse [SIN-aps] a junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the
dendrite or cell body of the receiving neuron. This tiny gap is called the synaptic gap or
cleft.
![Page 35: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
NeurotransmittersNeurotransmitters
(chemicals) released from the sending neuron travel across the synapse
and bind to receptor sites on the receiving
neuron, thereby influencing it to generate
an action potential.
They fill in receptor sites like keys to a key hole.
![Page 36: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Lock & Key Mechanism
Neurotransmitters bind to the receptors of the receiving neuron in a key-lock mechanism.
![Page 37: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Reuptake
Neurotransmitters in the synapse are
reabsorbed into the sending neurons
through the process of reuptake. This
process applies the brakes on
neurotransmitter action.
![Page 38: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

What is an SSRI?
• Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor
• Prozac, Zoloft, Celexa etc…..
• These are anti-depressants that block the reuptake of serotonin, therefore, making sure the synapse is filled with serotonin
![Page 40: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
How is a neural transmission both an electrical and a chemical response?
• Electrical- action potential create electricity
• Chemical- at the synapse

The Endocrine System
The Endocrine System is the body’s “slow”
chemical communication
system. Communication is
carried out by hormones
synthesized by a set of glands.
![Page 60: 10/8 AP Psych Class Announcements : Test or vocab quiz make-up: Shaniya, Madeline, Brooklyn, Aim: to discuss the functions of the nervous system categories,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012922/56649e605503460f94b5bc52/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Hormones
Hormones are chemicals synthesized by the endocrine glands that are secreted in the
bloodstream. Hormones affect the brain and many other tissues of the body.
For example, epinephrine (adrenaline) increases heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, and feelings of excitement during
emergency situations.
