SNC 2D
The Nervous System

The organ system that is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and the peripheral nervesSystem that senses the environment and coordinates appropriate responses
Nervous System

Consists of the brain and the spinal cord
Shielded by bonesSkull protects the brainSpine protects the spinal cord
Cerebrospinal fluid surrounds the brain and spinal cord – cushions against injury and transports chemicals and waste
Central Nervous System

Consists of the nerves that connect the body to the central nervous system
Relays information about the internal and external environments of the brain
Subdivided into A) nerves that control voluntary musclesB) nerves that carry information from sensory
organsC) nerves that regulate involuntary functions
Peripheral Nervous System
![Page 5: SNC 2D. The organ system that is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and the peripheral nerves System that senses the environment and coordinates appropriate](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e615503460f94b5d011/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Specialized cells that make up nerve tissue are called neurons
Found in brain, spinal cord and nervesApproximately 100 billion neurons in human
brain
Neurons conduct electrical signals (nerve impulses) from one area of body to another

Structure

Nerve cell sends a signal through axonAttaches to dendrites of another cellContinues until reaches muscle cellsSignal goes in only one direction
Sending a Signal

Fatty material that surrounds the axonActs like an electrical wire preventing
electrical impulses from passing to the wrong neuron
Myelin Sheath

Bundles of neurons surrounded by connective tissueAllow two-way flow of information even though each neuron transmits information only in one direction
Nerves

Special cells or tissues that receive input from our external environment and send signals along our peripheral nerves to our central nervous system
Ears, mouth, nose, muscles, and skinOther receptors are sensitive to pressure, temperature, and pain and make us aware of our balance, position and motion
Sensory Receptors

Increase/decrease breathing rateHeart beat faster/slowerEat/drink/stopPerception
Spinal Cord – acts as a short cut for reflexesReflexes do not use brain, occur without
conscious thought (move hand away from hot surface)
Other functions

Peripheral nervous system can undergo cell division to repair severed nerves (few mm distance)
Central nervous system do not regenerate easily

Multiple Sclerosis – destroys myelin sheaths so that signals are mixed up
Fall or blow – can result in paralysis, concussions
Viruses and bacteria can cause permanent damage in brain
