General Nervous System Functions
Control of the internal environment– Nervous system works with endocrine
systemVoluntary control of movementProgramming spinal cord reflexesAssimilation of experiences necessary for memory and learning

Organization of the Nervous System
Central nervous system (CNS)– Brain and spinal cord
Peripheral nervous system (PNS)– Neurons outside the CNS– Sensory division
• Afferent fibers transmit impulses from receptors to CNS
– Motor division• Efferent fibers transmit impulses from CNS to
effector organs

Structure of a Neuron
Cell bodyDendrites– Conduct impulses toward cell body
Axon– Carries electrical impulse away from cell body– May be covered by Schwann cells
• Forms discontinuous myelin sheath along length of axon
Synapse– Contact points between axon of one neuron and
dendrite of another neuron

Electrical Activity in Neurons
Resting membrane potential– At rest, the neurons are negatively charged– Determined by concentrations of ions (Na+, K+, Cl-)
across membrane Action potential– Occurs when depolarization reaches threshold
• Permeability of the membrane changes, allowing Na+ into the cell, making the interior positively charged
– Repolarization• Change in membrane permeability, restoring resting
membrane potential

Neurotransmitters and Synaptic Transmission
Neurons communicate across synapses using neurotransmitters– Released from presynaptic membrane– Binds to receptor on post synaptic
membrane

Basic Structure of a Chemical Synapse
![Page 15: Session 3-Part 1: The Nervous Systemefs.efslibrary.net/CertificatePrograms/PFT/Course 2...Session 3-Part 1: The Nervous System Course: Introduction to Exercise Science-Level 2 (Exercise](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011900/5f05208a7e708231d41166fd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
All or None Law
When an action potential occurs, the nerve impulse travels the full length of the neuron with no decrease in voltage.Like firing a gun: irrespective of how hard you pull the trigger, the gun will discharge with the same force. You can’t “half-way” fire a gun.

Somatic Motor Function
Somatic motor neurons of PNS– Responsible for carrying neural messages
from spinal cord to skeletal musclesMotor unit– Motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it
innervatesInnervation ratio– Number of muscle fibers per motor neuron

Control of Motor Function
Subcortical and cortical motivation areas– Sends a “rough draft” of the movement
Cerebellum and basal ganglia– Coverts “rough draft” into movement plan– Cerebellum: fast movements– Basal ganglia: slow, deliberate movements
Motor cortex– Forwards message down spinal column to
muscles– Feedback from muscle receptors and
proprioceptors allows fine-tuning of motor program
