Nervous tissues

Cards (50)

  • Sensory, integration and motor output. - All of our actions, thoughts and emotions can be boiled down into three principal functions
  • SENSORY OUTPUT
    Special Senses
    Eyes - Sight
    Nose - Smell
    Tongue - Taste
    Ear - Hearing
    Skin - Touch
  • MOTOR OUTPUT
    Nociception - pain receptor • Temperature
    Stretch receptor (bladder)
  • INTEGRATION
    -The nervous system processes that input and decides what should be done about it.
    -"Fight or flight"
  • MOTOR OUTPUT
    The response that occurs when your nervous system activates certain parts of your
    body.
  • TWO MAIN CATEGORIES OF NERVOUS SYSTEM
    1. Central Nervous system
    2. Nervous system
  • Central Nervous system - brain and spinal cord
  • Peripheral Nervous system - Nerves
  • Sensory Division / Afferent - picks up sensory stimuli
  • Motor Division / Efferent - sends signals from the CNS (brain &spinal
    cord) to the rest of the body
  • Somatic - voluntary
  • Autonomic - involuntary
  • Sympathetic - fight or flight
  • Parasympathetic -Heart beat, peristalsis _ (movement of intestine muscles)
  • TWO MAIN CELLS
    .1 Neuron
    2. Microglial / Neuroglia / Glial
    cells
  • Neuron - receive stimuli
    and send signals
  • Microglial / Neuroglia / Glial
    cells- protects, nourishes, insulates and helps the neuron send signals
  • GLIALCELLTYPES Central Nervous System
    1.Astrocytes
    2. Microglial cells
    3. Ependymal cells .4 Oligodendrocytes
  • PeripheralNervousSystem
    1. Satellite cells
    2. Schwann cells
  • ASTROCYTES
    • Most abundant glial cells
  • ASTROCYTES
    Anchor neurons to blood supply (capillaries)
  • ASTROCYTES
    Allows exchange of ions between neurons and capillaries
  • this is ASTROCYTES
  • MICROGLIAL CELLS
    Provide immune defense for against invading microorganisms in the brain and spinal cord
  • this is soma
  • microglial cells
  • EPENDYMAL CELLS
    Create, secrete and circulate C S (Cerebrospinal fluid)
    1. cilia
    2. ependymal cells
  • OLIGODENDROCYTES
    Produce an insulating barrier called myelin sheath
  • SATELLITE CELLS
    Surround and support neuron cell bodies
    1. satellite cells
    2. nuclei
  • schwann cells
    Wrap around axons and produce an insulating barrier
    called myelin sheath
    1. axon
    2. myelin sheath
    3. schwann cells
    4. node ranvier
  • SOMA
    •Cell body
    • Life support
  • SOMA
    Contains organelles such as nucleus and mitochondria
  • DENDRITES
    • Pick up signals and convey them to the soma
  • AXON
    • Long extension
    • Transmit electrical impulses away from the cell body to the other cells
    1. dendrites
    2. cell body
    3. supporting cells
    4. axon
  • this is unipolar
  • this is bipolar
