Describe the macroscopic org of the nervous system
Multipolar neuron
Motor
Bipolar neuron
Special sensory
Unipolar neuron
Somatosensory (proprioception)
can send info antro and retrograde
Afferent neuron
arrive at CNS
sensory (5 senses but replace touch w equilibrium)
Efferent neuron
exit CNS
motor
Efferent neuron- somatomotor vs autonomic motor
somatomotor- voluntary contractions
Autonomic motor- involuntary contractions (smooth muscle- CNS, PNS)
Interneurons aka assosiation neurons
can excite or inhibit connection of other neuorns
Dendrites, Soma, Axon Hillock, Axon (myelin sheeth, nodes of ranvier), terminal branches (synapse)
Astrocytes
cns
form BBB
impact neurotransmitter activity
insulation
tissue repair, support (physical, regulatory, etc.)
microglia
CNS
immune
phagocytise while we sleep
Ependymal cells
CNS
line walls
produce CSF (CSF is produced in the choroid plexxus) so these cells form the choroid plexxus
Oligodendrocytes
CNS
myelin sheeth in CNS
1 cell can mylenate multiple axons
Satelitte cells
PNS
astrocytes of PNS
support soma in ganglia
Schwann Cells
PNS
produce myelin sheeth makes salittory conductions- leaping
multiple are req to mylenate 1 axon
Trigger zone
axon hillock
initial segment
Trigger zone: spatial summation
space- multiple synapses fire at diff locations same time- like many ppl pushing a door together at once
Trigger zone: termporal summation
one synapse fires repeatedly over time
is there cortical involvement in reflexes
no.
cortical involvement- acts on its own, no brain needed
so there is no brain involvment in reflexes
somatic reflexes example
skeletal muscles (flexor withdraw, myotactic)
autonomic reflexes example
smooth/ cardiac/ glands muscle (salivary reflex, pupillary reflex)
myotactic reflex
- splits bc agonist contracts and antag relax
- 1 interneuron
- patellar tendon reflex
Flexor withdraw reflex
stepping on the lego
flexor reflex
painful stimulus-> sensory receptor-> sensory neuron-> interneuronSSSS-> excitation of flexors/ inhibition of extensors
crossed exstention (balence for leg not standing on lego)
same^ but neurons cross midline
axoaxonic
axon terminal to another axon terminal (terminal branch)
