Introduction to Nervous
System
Composition of Nervous System
 Two main divisions
 1) Central Nervous
system (CNS) brain
and spinal chord
 2)Peripheral Nervous
System (PNS) nerves
Remember from Homeostasis
 Message is received from
sensory receptor along
sensory neuron (afferent
pathway)
 Messages reaches brain
and is integrated (control
center)
 Reaction command sent
down efferent pathway
along motor neuron
(motor output)
Types of Motor Actions
 Somatic
 Happens in skeletal
muscle
 voluntary
 Autonomic
 Happens in smooth
and cardiac muscle
 Involuntary
 2 parts
 Sympathetic and
parasympathetic
Cells of the Nervous System
 Broken down into two
groups
 1) supporting cells
 2) neurons
Examples of Neuroglia (supporting
cells)
 1) astrocytes –
anchor neurons to
capillaries
 2) microglia –
phagocytes (digest
debris and dead cells)
 3) Ependymal cells-
ciliated; always on
surface near spinal
fluid; circulates fluid
One more Neuroglial cell (in CNS)
 4)Oligodendrocytes –
fatty; insulated nerve
fibers
 Produce myelin
sheath which
surround and insulate
the nerve fiber
In PNS
 Instead of
oligodendrocytes,
they have Schwann
cells, which insulate
the nerve fiber
 Satellite cells – form
protective layer
around nerve cell
body
Neurons
 Specifically designed
to transmit message
(nerve impulse)
Parts of a Neuron
 1)Cell Body- contains
nucleus
 2) fiber (process)-
carries message to
next neuron
 Toward cell body =
dendrites
 Away from cell body =
axon
Axonal Terminal
 As an axon ends, it
branches into
hundreds of
synapses.
 Releases
neurotransmitters to
next neuron or
muscle
Myelination of Neurons
 In CNS, the fatty
covering is
oligodendrocyte
 In PNS, fatty myelin
forms Schwann cells,
which increase
transmission rate.
 Gaps between
Schwann cells= Nodes
