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.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

4. Functions of the Nervous System
a) Gathers information from both inside and outside the body - Sensory
Function
b) Transmits information to the processing areas of the brain and
spineProcesses the information in the brain and spine – Integration
Function
c) Sends information to the muscles, glands, and organs so they can
respond appropriately – Motor Function
d) It controls and coordinates all essential functions of the body
including all other body systems
e) allowing the body to maintain homeostasis or its delicate balance.
f) The Nervous System is divided into Two Main Divisions: Central
Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

5. 2. Neurons
A neuron is a cell that transmits nerve impulses.
Basic functional cell of nervous system
Transmits impulses
a) Dendrite – receive stimulus and carries it impulses
toward the cell body
b) Cell Body with nucleus – nucleus & most of cytoplasm
c) Axon – fiber which carries impulses away from cell body
d) Schwann Cells- cells which produce myelin or fat layer
in the Peripheral Nervous System
e) Myelin sheath – dense lipid layer which insulates the
axon – makes the axon look gray
f) Node of Ranvier – gaps or nodes in the myelin sheath
Three types of Neurons-
a) Sensory neurons – bring messages to CNS
b) Motor neurons - carry messages from CNS
c) Interneuron – between sensory & motor neurons in
the CNS

PHARMA EXPRESS
6. 3. Neurolgia
The Neuroglia are a group of supportive cells for the
neurons. Further, they maintain the myelin sheath,
provide nutrient support
Function-
a) It offers essential nutrients. It includes oxygen to
neurons.
b) Next, it also helps create the myelin sheath. The
sheath is important in the functioning of the nervous
system. It promotes and speeds up the electrical
impulse conduction. It does so by wrapping around
the axons.
c) Further, it also helps to maintain homeostasis within
the neurons. Homeostasis is how a cell maintains a
stable internal environment despite disturbances.
d) It destroys pathogens. It helps protect the neurons
Neuroglia, can be broadly categorised into two
variants: 1) Microglia 2) Macroglia

8. 4. Classification and properties of Nerve Fiber
• A nerve fiber is a threadlike extension of a nerve cell and consists of an
axon (microfilament + microtubule) and myelin sheath (if present) in the
nervous system.
Classification of nerve fibers
Histologically: (a) Medullated (myelinated)
(b) non-medullated (non myelinated)
Functionally: (a) motor (efferent)
(b) sensory (afferent)
Chemically: (a) Adrenergic (producing norepinephrine)
(b) Cholinergic (producing acetylcholine)
According to diameter and conduction velocity:
(Thicker the fiber, higher the impulse velocity)
A fiber: Further divided into α, β & γ fibers.
B fiber :
C fiber: Further divided into sympathetic and dorsal root.

PHARMA EXPRESS
9. a) Excitability-the nerve can be stimulated by a suitable stimulus, which may be:
mechanical -thermal -chemical –electrical
b) Conductivity- coduction of impulse
c) Refractory period- When the nerve fiber is once excited, it will not respond
to a second stimulus for a brief period
d) Summation-In a nerve fiber summation of two submaximal stimuli is possible
e) Adaptation- Due to this adaptation there is no excitation during the passage of
a constant current
f) Accommodation- If a stimulus even in stronger strength is applied very
slowly to a nerve, then there may have no response only due to lack of attaining the
threshold strength.
g) Indefatigability- if the nerve is stimulated repeatedly, then after a certain
period the muscle fails to give any response but nerve is not fatigued.

Properties of Nerve Fiber
12. 6. Nerve Impulse
• A stimulus is a change in the environment with sufficient
strength to initiate a response.
• Excitability is the ability of a neuron to respond to the
stimulus and convert it into a nerve impulse
• All of Nothing Rule – The stimulus is either strong
enough to start and impulse or nothing happens
• Impulses are always the same strength along a given
neuron and they are self-propagation – once it starts it
continues to the end of the neuron in only one direction-
from dendrite to cell body to axon
• The nerve impulse causes a movement of ions across the
cell membrane of the nerve cell.
PHARMA EXPRESS
12
13. 7. Receptors
• Receptors are biological transducers that convert
energy from both external and
internal environments into electrical impulses.
They may be massed together to form a sense
organ, such as the eye or ear, or they may be
scattered, as are those of the skin and viscera.
Receptors are connected to the central nervous
system by afferent nerve fibres. The region or
area in the periphery from which a neuron
within the central nervous system receives input
is called its receptive field.
PHARMA EXPRESS
13
14. 8. Synapse
• Synapse - small gap or space between the
axon of one neuron and the dendrite of
another – the neurons do not actually
tough at the synapse
• It is junction between neurons which uses
neurotransmitters to start the impulse in the
second neuron or an effector (muscle or gland)
• The synapse insures one-way transmission of
impulses
PHARMA EXPRESS
14
15. Neurotransmitters
• Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit a signal from
a neuron across the synapse to a target cell, which can be a different
neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell. Neurotransmitters are chemical
substances made by the neuron specifically to transmit a message
• Acetylcholine (ACh) is commonly secreted at neuromuscular
junctions, the gaps between motor neurons and skeletal muscle cells,
where it stimulates muscles to contract by opening gated positive ion
channels.
• Epinephrine, norepinephrine (NE), dopamine, and serotonin are
derived from amino acids and are secreted mostly between neurons of
the CNS. Norepinephrine is also found in the peripheral nervous system
(PNS).
• Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is usually an inhibitory
neurotransmitter (opening gated Cl – channels) among neurons in the
brain
