What are the functions of the nervous system?Receive sensory input, interpret & make a decision, and effect a response
Individual neurons have two major functional properties: irritability and conductivity. Irritability = ability to respond to a stimulus and
convert it to a nerve impulse Conductivity = ability to transmit the impulse to
other neurons, muscles, or glands.
Neuron Functions
How do irritability and conductivity relate to the functions of the nervous system?

Irritability = ability to respond to a stimulus and convert it to a nerve impulse
What type of stimulus? ◦ Receptor neurons respond to specific stimuli (e.g. touch,
temperature, pressure, tension, sight, hearing, chemical) ◦ All other neurons (interneurons, motor neurons) respond to
neurotransmitters released by other neurons What is a nerve impulse?
◦ A quick switch in voltage potential (charge difference) across the membrane that travels all the way along the axon of the neuron
◦ Occurs due to flow of ions across the membrane◦ All – or - nothing
Irritability
Now to understand the process of a nerve impulse / action potential in much more detail …

Neurons at rest have an electrochemical gradient across the cell membrane, known as the resting potential.
The resting potential is approximately -70mV.

The resting potential is maintained by:
Sodium-potassium pump (3 Na+ pumped out for every 2 K+ pumped in)
Greater membrane permeability of K+
(K+ can diffuse back out to some degree)
Organic anions (- ions) within cell

An action potential involves the rapid depolarization and repolarization of the membrane.

Once a threshold is reached, all Na+ gates open, causing depolarization of the membrane.
When the membrane is depolarized, the inside of the membrane is more positively charged than the outside.

Membrane repolarization occurs when Na+ gates close and K+ gates open, allowing net diffusion of K+ outside.
Repolarization returns the membrane to resting potential (more negatively charged inside)

Scholar with more siblings … At rest, what ions are most abundant outside the cell,
and which are most abundant inside the cell? Which side of the membrane is more negative at rest?
At rest, Na+ ions are mostly outside the membrane, while K+ and anions are mostly inside. The inside of the cell membrane is more negatively charged.
Scholar with less siblings … Describe how the movement of ions causes
◦ Depolarization – Na+ ions rush into the cell
◦ Repolarization – K+ ions rush out of the cell

The nerve impulsemoves along theaxon.
The change in voltage of one
area triggers thedepolarization of the next area.
Repolarization follows immediately.
Nerve Impulse Propagation

In myelinated neurons the impulse “jumps” from node to node, rather than traveling the whole length of the axon – makes the impulse transmission much more efficient.
Nerve Impulses

Generation and propagation of nerve impulse along one neuron= irritability
Conductivity is the ability of one neuron to signal another. This occurs in an entirely different fashion at the synapse, or gap, between neurons.
Irritability vs. Conductivity

Synapses• The fluid-filled space betweenneurons is called a synapse
• Chemicals called neurotransmitters carry the nerve impulse across the synapse.

Synapses
1. The nerve impulse reaches the axon terminal.
2. Ca+ gates open, allowing Ca+ into the axon.
3. The Ca+ causesvesicles containingneurotransmitters to empty into the synapse

Synapses4. The neurotransmitters diffuse across the
synaptic cleft and binds with receptors of the next neuron.
5. Na+ channels openin the dendrites of the post-synapticneuron
6. Post-synaptic neuron depolarizes
7. Remainingneurotransmitter isbroken down.
