Parts of a neuron

Charge of a neuron
In resting state positive on the outside and negitive on the inside
-
Cerebrum
- two hemispheres joined by the corpus callosum
- governs all sensory and motor actions
- the seat of intelligences, learning, analysis, memory and lenguage
-
Diencephalon
- sometimes called the interbrain
- Inside it are the: thalamus, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and the limbic system
-
Thalamus
Relay and processing centers for sensory information
-
Hypothalamus
Centers controlling smotions, autonomic functions, and hormone production
-
Midbrain
- processing of visual and auditory data
- generation of incoluntary somatic motor response
- maintenance of consciousness
-
Pons
- Relays sensory information to cerebellum and thalamus
- Involuntary somatic and visceral motor centers
-
Medulla Oblongata
- Relays sensory information to the thalamus
- Autonomic centers for regulation of visceral function (cardiocascular, respiratory, and digestive system)
-
cerebellum
coordinates fine motor movement, posture, equilibrium, and muscle tone
-
circle of willis
brain recieves about 20% of body's total blood flow. Both the carotid system and vertebrobasilar system join at this point
-
Gray matter
areas in the CNS dominated by nerve cell bodies, center of spinal cord and plays an important role in the reflex system
-
White matter
material that surrounds gray matter in the spinal cord made up largely of axons
-
How many pairs of spinal nerve roots?
31
-
Spinal Nerve Plexuses
- Cervical- controls the diaphragm
- Brachial- controls muscles
- Lumbar- lower abdomen, glutes, thighs
- Sacral- Lower extremity
-
Dermatome
topographical region of the body surface innervated by one nerve root
-
myotome
muscle and tissue of the body innervated by a spinal nerve root
-
4 Peripheral Nervous System
- Somatic Sensory- nerves transmit sensations involved in touch, pressure, pain, temp., and position
- Somatic motor- these efferent fibers carry impulses to the skeletal muscles
- Visceral sensory- these afferent tracts transmit sensations from visceral organs. such as a full bladder
- Visceral motor- these efferent fibers exit the CNS and branch to supply nerves to the involuntary cardiac muscle and smooth muscle
-
Sympathetic hormones
- Epinephrine(80%)
- Norepinephrine(20%)
-
Sympathetic receptors
- Adrenergic
- Alpha 1- peripheral vasoconstriction, mild bronchoconstriction, and stimulation of metaabolism
- Alpha 2- serve to prevent overrelease of norepinephrine in the synapse
- Beta 1- cause increase heart rate, cardiac contractile force, and cardiac automaticity and conduction
- Beta 2- cause vasodilation and bronchodilation
- Dopaminergic- cause dilation of the renal, coronary and cerebral arteries
-
Parasympathetic nerve fibers travel along what 4 crainial nerves?
3, 7, 9, 10
-
Parasympathetic hormone
Acetylcholine
-
Parasympathetic two types of ACh
- Nicotinic(n)- found in all autonomic ganglia, where ACh serves as the presynpatic neurotransmitter of both the parasympathetic and sympathetic
- Nicotinic(m)- found at the neuromuscular junction and initiate muscular contraction as part of the somatic nervous system
- Muscarinic- found in many organs throughout the body and are primarily responsible for promoting the parasympathetic response
-
Hypothalamus
- Hypothalamus cells act both as nerve cells and gland cells
- Nerve impulses travel to the posterior pituitart gland
- Horomones travel to the anterior pituitart gland
-
Hypothalmus hormones
- Growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH)
- Growth hormone inhibiting hormone (GHIH)
- Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH)
- Corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH)
- Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)
- Prolactin releasing hormone (PRH)
- Prolactin inhibiting hormone (PIH)
*All target the anterior pitutitary*
-
Posterior Pituitary
Respondes to nerve impluses from hypothalamus
- Antidiuretic hormone- kidneys (water absorbson)
- Oxytocin- uterus and breast of females
-
Anterior Pituitary
Responds to hormones
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)- Targets the adrenal cortexes
- Thyroide-stimulating hormone (TSH)- targets the thyroide
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)- targets gonads
- Luteinizing hormone (LH)- targets gonads
- Prolactin (PRL)- target the mammary glads in women
- Growth Hormone (GH)- targets almost all body cells
-
Thyroid
two lobes one on either side of trachea
- Thyroxine(T4)- stimulate cell metabolism
- Triiodothyronine(T3) stimulate cell metabolism
- Calcitonin- lowers blood calcium levels
-
Parathyroid Glands
normally 4 are located on the posterior lateral surface of the thyroid
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)- increase blood calcium levels
-
Thymus gland
larger in children but shrinks by adulthood
Thymosin- promotes maturation of T Lymphocytes (responsible for cell immunity)
-
Pancreas
contain both endocrine and exocrine tissues
- exocrine- known as acini secrete digestive enzymes essential to digestion of fats and prooteins
- Endocrine tissue is known as islets of langerhans three most important endocrine cells are, alpha, beta, delta
- Alpha and beta produce glucagon, insulin
-
Glycongenolysis
the breakdown of glycogen to glucose, primarily by the liver cells
-
Glucongeogensis
conversion of protein and fat to form glucose
-
Outer adrenal glands
"Adrenal Cortex" - consists of endocrine tissue
- secretes three classes of steroidal hormones
- Glucocorticoides
- Mineralocorticoids
- Androgenic
-
Interior Adrenal glands
- "adrenal medulla" - cells behave as both nerve and gland
- responsible for secreting epinephrine and norepinephrine
-
Gonads
- responsible for the sexual maturation of puberty and repoduction
- ovaries produce- estrogen and progesterine
- Testes produce- testosterone
-
Pineal
located on root of the thalamus
- biological clock
- seasonal affective disorder
