3 sensory modalities
chemical mechanicalelectromagnetic
chemical senses
relies on the fit on chemical and receptors relies on the movement of ions through the channelstransduction-changing of energy
somatic nervous system
The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the control of body movements via skeletal muscles.
pairs of nerves?
31 pairs of spinal nerves 12 pairs of cranial nerves
Thalamus
The thalamus is a symmetrical structure within the brains of vertebrates including humans, situated between the cerebral cortex and midbrain. is the sensory relay site, except for the smell and olfaction
Hypothalamus
neuro endocrine cells, in the autonomic nervous system The hypothalamus is a portion of the brain that contains a number of small nuclei with a variety of functions.
two forms of transfer
fast axoplasmic transport- proteins snythesized by RER slow axoplasmic transport- cytoplasmic proteins: tubulin, actin, glucolytic enzymes
how are vesicles transported?
with microtubules and moved by kinesin
Glia
Glial cells, sometimes called neuroglia or simply glia, are non-neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support and protection for neurons in the brain, and for neurons in other parts of the nervous system such as in the autonomic nervous system. regulatory, ma…
Microglia
Microglia are a type of glial cell that are the resident macrophages of the brain and spinal cord, and thus act as the first and main form of active immune defense in the central nervous system. Macrophages, non-specific immunity
Giamberey syndrome
attack of the immune system on the schwann cells in the PNS
Threshold
The potential where Na+ influx outstrips K+ efflux
refractory period
* Refractory period, the amount of time it takes for an excitable membrane to be ready for a second stimulus once it returns to its resting state following excitation in the areas of biology, physiology, and cardiology. closing the Na+ channels and Opening of the K+ channels
propagation of an unmylinated axon
c-fibers tend to be pain neurons stat on chronically
deliverence of positive charge like Ca2+
tells channels to open, produces a depolarization
2 IPSP neurotransmitter
Glycine GABBA
EPSP Neurotransmitter
Glutamate
PNS: Cell bodies,axon
Ganglia nerve
CNS: cell bodies, axons
Nucleus tract
3 types of muscle
cardiac smoothVoluntary skeletal muscle
