Nervous System - Carson Robertson DC
Nervous System - Quick Review Notes Chapter 8
The central and peripheral nervous system provide sensory, integrative, and motor control throughout the body.
Central nervous system -CNS– brain and spinal cord.
Peripheral nervous system - PNS – bundles of nerves that connect the central nervous system to cells outside the spinal cord.
Neurons – nerve cells. Neurons transmit information in the form of neurochemical changes called nerve impulses. Nerve impulses allow neurons to communicate with other neurons along with cells outside the nervous system.
Typical structure of a neuron
Body – rounded area of the neuron which contains the nucleus, and can have dendrites and axons extending from the body.
Dendrites – numerous extensions that receive electrochemical messages.
Axons – extensions that send information from the body. Usually a neuron has only one axon.
Neuroglia – nerve helper cells.
Neuroglia provide physical support, insulation, and nutrients for neurons. Neurons have become very specialized and have lost many of the functions of typical cells, and rely on neuroglia for these functions and maintaining neuron health.
Sensory Nerves
Sensory receptors take information from the body and bring it through peripheral neurons to the spinal cord. Sensory receptors monitor changes in the external environmental factors such as light and sound. It also monitors the body's internal environment such as temperature, oxygen levels, pH, and blood chemical levels.
Receptors take the sensory information and send it through nerve impulses to the central nervous system. The central nervous system integrates information to make decisions and appropriate responses. The brain and spinal cord respond to stimulus
by a variety of mechanisms including motor functions to act appropriately to the changing stimulus.
Motor Control
Peripheral nerves carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the effector muscles. Motor functions can be broken into two categories
1. Those that are under conscious or voluntary control such as the somatic nervous system. The somatic nervous system controls skeletal muscle. You can consciously think
