CENTRAL and PERIFERAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM
SO THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE
Quick facts
• Central nervous system is the brain and the spinal cord.
• Peripheral nervous system is the nerves that connect the
central nervous system to the rest of the body.
• Reflex action is a response by the body that takes place
without the brain being involved.
• Neuron is a nerve cell.
• Synapse is the gap between neurons that carry messages
throughout the nervous system.
A FEW FACTS … THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
• Special nerve endings in your skin called receptors can
detect stimuli from outside or inside your body.
• Electrical impulses travel through the peripheral
nervous system via neurons (also known as nerve
cells) to the central nervous system.
• Neurons group together form a nerve.
WHAT MAKES A NERVE
Structure and function of Neurons
# STRUCTURE FUNCTION
1 DENDRITE Branches that extend from the cell body. These receive chemical
messages from other NEURONS.
2 SOMA CELL body. Contains the Nucleus
3 AXON A long structure through which nerve signals pass from the cell body.
4 NODE OF RANVIER Are small gaps in the myelin sheath. Allow for the electrical signal to
jump from one node to the next.
5 BOUTON or AXON
TERMINAL
Electrical signals in the axon are converted to chemical signals in the
bouton.
6 SCHWANN CELL Make up Myelin. They help to speed up the transmission of electrical
signals along the axon.
7 MYELIN SHEATH Longer axons are covered with a MYELIN sheath. It acts like insulation
around the wire. Prevents short circuits.
8 NUCLEUS Contains the genetic material of the cell.
There are three
types of neurons:
1.Sensory neurons - carry
the impulse generated by
the stimulus to the
central nervous system.
2.Interneurons - carry the
impulse through the
central nervous system.
3.Motor neurons - take the
impulse from the central
nervous system to as
muscles or glands.
DIAGRAM OF A SYNAPSE
• The gap between neurons is called the synapse.
• Chemical compounds are produced at the end of the axon that carries the impulse to the next
neuron.
• The message is converted to an electrical impulse which continues down the axon.
•
REFLEX ARC
LETS RECAP
REVIEW
• The nervous system is made up of the central
nervous system (brain and the spinal cord) and
the peripheral nervous system.
• A neuron is a nerve cell.
• The Synapse is the gap between neurons.
• The Reflex arc is the central nervous systems
response to a stimulus.
