Muscles is a contractile tissue which brings about movement.
Muscle cell responsible for our movement both visible and invisible, example walking, talking, bowel movement ,urination, breathing, heartbeats, the dilation and constriction of the pupils of our eyes and many other.

The central nervous system (CNS) is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The brain controls most body functions, including awareness, movements, sensations, thoughts, speech and memory. The spinal cord is connected to the brain at the brain stem and is covered by the vertebrae of the spine.
This presentation based on a broad overview to the human central nervous system focusing over the parts of the system, different cell types present in the system, and special terminology used in the system.
Nerve impluse in non myelinated and myelinated nerve fibres. Nerve impluse is the sum total of chemical and physical events in the propagation of a wave of physiological activity along a nerve fibre.
Propagation of nerve impluse in non myelinated nerve fibres-
Resting state
Depolarisation
Repolarization
Metabolic pump
The action potential
The process of Propagation of nerve impluse in myelinated nerve fibres is called soltatory propagation.
Nerve impluses are transmitted in one direction only. The nerve fibre always have a refractory period after a stimulus and the nerve impluses obey the all or none law

The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of nerves. This system sends messages back and forth between the brain and the body.
The brain is what controls all the body's functions. The spinal cord runs from the brain down through the back. It contains threadlike nerves that branch out to every organ and body part. This network of nerves relays messages back and forth from the brain to different parts of the body.What Are the Parts of the Nervous System?
The nervous system is made up of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system:
The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.
The peripheral nervous system includes the nerves that run throughout the whole body.How Does the Nervous System Work?
The nervous system uses tiny cells called neurons (NEW-ronz) to send messages back and forth from the brain, through the spinal cord, to the nerves throughout the body.
Billions of neurons work together to create a communication network. Different neurons have different jobs. For example, sensory neurons send information from the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin to the brain. Motor neurons carry messages away from the brain to the rest of the body to allow muscles to move. These connections make up the way we think, learn, move, and feel. They control how our bodies work — regulating breathing, digestion, and the beating of our hearts.

The nervous system is the body's communication network, coordinating and regulating all bodily functions. Comprising the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS), it consists of neurons, specialized cells transmitting electrical and chemical signals. The CNS, consisting of the brain and spinal cord, interprets and processes information. The PNS extends from the CNS, transmitting signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. Sensory neurons detect stimuli, while motor neurons control muscle movement. This intricate system enables sensory perception, voluntary and involuntary actions, and regulates bodily processes, ensuring homeostasis and facilitating responses to the environment.

2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
2
At the end of the learning session, students
will able to:
Describe the histological characteristic and the
functions of neurons and neuroglia.
Distinguish between gray matter and white
matter.
DNUR 3012
6. NERVE CELLS (NEURON)
6
Specific cells that transport electrical nerve
impulse.
Transport impulse from one part to others part of
body.
Property:
Electrical excitability (ability to produce action potential
and impulse in response stimuli).
Once they arise, action potentials propagate from one
point to the next along the plasma membrane due to the
presence of specific types of ion channels.
DNUR 3012
8. Nerve Cells
8
Nerve fiber is a general term for any neuronal
process (dendrite or axon)
The site of communication between two neurons
or between a neuron and an effectors cell is called
a synapse.
(Neuron synapse neuron)
Impulses transmit into neuron at synapse through
dendrite process and carry incoming impulse
towards cell bodies. Then transfer away from cell
body by axon.
DNUR 3012
9. CELL BODY
9
Contains:
Nucleus
Surrounded by cytoplasm that includes typical
organelles such as:
lysosomes, mitochondria and a Golgi complex
Nissl bodies (prominent cluster of rough
endoplasmic reticulum) :
sites of protein synthesis in neurons that was
used to replace cellular components, as a
material for growth of neurons and to regenerate
damaged axons in the PNS.
DNUR 3012
10. Cell body
10
Characteristics:
Different sizes with others
Protoplasma have granules
Neurons cells cannot divide like others cell body
Form grey matter in brain and spinal cord
Cells have one or more fibers (axons and
dendrite) will form white matter nervous system’s
organs .
DNUR 3012
11. DENDRITE
11
Dendrite’s shorter processes terminating mostly
near the nerve cell body. They touch the others
neuron at synapse.
Are conductive in nature :
receive and carry incoming impulses towards cell
bodies.
Have same structures like axons, but are usually
shorter and branching.
In motor neuron, they forms part of synapses.
In sensory neuron, they form the sensory
receptors that respond to specific stimuli.
DNUR 3012
13. AXON
13
Each neuron has one axon.
Axon may have branches along their length
known as axon collaterals.
Axon collaterals is divide into many fine
processes known as axon terminals.
Axon terminals:
Longer than dendrites , sometimes about 1
metre.
DNUR 3012
15. AXON
15
Has a long central core of cytoplasma called
axosplasma .
The cytoplasma is surrounded by plasma
membrane axolemma.
Together axoplasma with axolemma is called
as axis cylinder of the nerve fiber.
Axon:
the conducting region of the neuron.
It generates nerve impulses and transmit them
(typically away from the cell body.)
DNUR 3012
16. AXON
16
Insulated by myelin sheath
It gives white colour to the nerve fiber.
Has a series of Schwann cell plasma membrane
and also known as neurolemma.
There are tiny areas of exposed axolemma
between adjacent Schwann cells, called nodes of
Ranvier.
Nodes of Ranvier:
Assist in rapid transmission of nerve impulse.
(the speed of transmission of nerve impulse slower in
non-myelinated fibers.) DNUR 3012
18. Neurolemma
18
A series of Schwann cell plasma membrane -
Thin membrane surrounding the myelin sheath
that found only around axons in the Peripheral
Nervous Sytem.
When the axon is injured, neurolemma assists
regenerations.
It forms a regeneration tube that guides and
stimulates growth of the axon.
DNUR 3012
27. Nerve Impulse
27
The electrical activity in the membrane of a
neuron.
Ways by which information is transmitted
within the nervous system along the axons of
the neurons.
DNUR 3012
29. Types of neuron: Sensory or
29
Afferent Nerves
Nerve that transmit impulse from peripheral body
through spinal cord to the brain to be interprets.
Example: from skin.
When action potentials are generated by sensory
receptors on the dendrites of these neurons, they
are transmitted to the spinal cord by the sensory
nerve fibers.
The impulse may then pass to the brain or to
connector neurons of reflex arcs in the spinal
cord.
Sensory receptors action potentials

Brain spinal cord skeletal muscle
(contract).
The nearer motor nerve to muscle, it lost its

Motor End Plate.
