Divisions of the Nervous System
• Central Nervous System (CNS)• Made up of the Brain and Spinal Cord
• Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)• All neural tissue outside of CNS

Neuron Structure
![Page 6: Nervous System. Divisions of the Nervous System Central Nervous System (CNS) Made up of the Brain and Spinal Cord Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) All](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfb61a28abf838c9def7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Neuron Structure Part 1• Cell Body • Nucleus • Axon: Carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body • Dendrite: Carries the nerve impulse towards the cell body •Myelin: Fatty substance that encases some of the axon • Allows nerve impulse to travel faster by jumping from node-to-
node• Nodes of Ranvier: Gaps between myelin • Schwann Cells: Produce the myelin

Neuron Structure Part 2
•White Matter: areas of neural tissue with myelin • LOTS of axons
•Gray Matter: areas of neural tissue without myelin • LOTS of cell bodies
![Page 8: Nervous System. Divisions of the Nervous System Central Nervous System (CNS) Made up of the Brain and Spinal Cord Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) All](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfb61a28abf838c9def7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Question
• What do you think are some of the consequences if Schwann Cells over time start to deteriorating?
![Page 9: Nervous System. Divisions of the Nervous System Central Nervous System (CNS) Made up of the Brain and Spinal Cord Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) All](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfb61a28abf838c9def7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Synapse
•Where the communication between cells takes place• How?• Through the release of
neurotransmitters • Very similar to NMJ, but
reuptake happens
![Page 10: Nervous System. Divisions of the Nervous System Central Nervous System (CNS) Made up of the Brain and Spinal Cord Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) All](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfb61a28abf838c9def7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Steps at Synapse
1. Nerve impulse travels down presynaptic neuron 2. Presynaptic neuron releases NTs from synaptic vesicles into synaptic
cleft 3. NTs land on receptors of postsynaptic neuron 4. Postsynaptic neuron responds 5. NTs return to presynaptic neuron in a process called ‘reuptake’

Action Potential (Nerve Impulse)
• Action Potential • The electrochemical changes that move along a cell to transmit information
• In neurons, action potentials involve sodium (Na) and potassium (K) and their movement across the cell membrane
• Propagation of an action potential down a nerve fiber is called a nerve impulse
![Page 12: Nervous System. Divisions of the Nervous System Central Nervous System (CNS) Made up of the Brain and Spinal Cord Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) All](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfb61a28abf838c9def7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Action Potential Graph
• X-Axis: Time
• Y-Axis: Membrane Potential (mV) • Way to measure electrical charge of the cell
Steps we will write out DO NOT match the numbers on your graph

1. Resting Potential
• Resting neuron’s cell membrane is polarized/charged because there is an uneven distribution of ions on both sides of the cell membrane
• Inside cell (-): K, PO, SO
• Outside cell (+): Na
• Membrane Potential: -70 mV
![Page 14: Nervous System. Divisions of the Nervous System Central Nervous System (CNS) Made up of the Brain and Spinal Cord Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) All](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfb61a28abf838c9def7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2. Depolarization
• STIMULUS • Na channels open and Na moves into cell • Membrane depolarizes from -70 mV to -55 mV• -55 mV is called THRESHOLD (minimum charge needed from impulse
to move on) • Amount of change in potential (charge) is directly proportional to
intensity of stimulus • Occurs at portion of cell membrane being stimulated and moves to
next part of cell membrane once threshold is reached
![Page 15: Nervous System. Divisions of the Nervous System Central Nervous System (CNS) Made up of the Brain and Spinal Cord Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) All](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfb61a28abf838c9def7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3. Action Potential
• At threshold, ALL Na channels suddenly open and Na rushes into cell
• Membrane depolarizes from -55 mV to +30 mV
![Page 16: Nervous System. Divisions of the Nervous System Central Nervous System (CNS) Made up of the Brain and Spinal Cord Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) All](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bfb61a28abf838c9def7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
4. Repolarization
• At +30 mV, Na channels close, K channels open and K rushes out
• Causes repolarization back to resting potential (-70 mV)
• At -70 mV, sodium-potassium pump exchanges Na and K to resets • 3 Na for 2 K

Spinal Cord
• What is the significance of the gray matter? • Unmyelinated • More neuron cell bodies in
gray matter than white matter, so more “work” can be done…
