Organization of the Nervous System
CNS (motor - efferent)
Structures
brain
spinal cord
Function
receive, process and respond to incoming signals
PNS (sensory - afferent)
Structures
spinal nerves
cranial nerves
ganglia
Function
Sensitivity to stimuli
relay information to the CNS
Somatic division
motor
output to skeletal muscle
sensory
input to skeletal muscle, joints, skin, limbs
Autonomic division (visceral)
motor
output to contents of ventral cavity
examples
smooth muscle
cardiac muscle
glands
sensory
input from contents of ventral body cavity
examples
stretch
pain
nausea
hunger
temperature
Neurons
neuron components
neuron cell body
"brains" of neuron, contains nucleus
nucleolus
makes ribosomes
chromatophilic substance
clusters of free ribosomes & rough E.R.
axon hillock
area of cell body where axon projects
dendrites
cellular receptors/receivers
axon
thin process that act as impulse generators & conductors
axon collaterals
branch off of axon
terminal arborization
tree-like projection at end of axon
terminal boutons (axon terminals)
end of axon, create neuromuscular junctions
structural types
bipolar
multipolar
unipolar
functional neuron types
motor (efferent) neurons
unipolar: general (located in ganglia)
bipolar: special
interneurons (association)
most abundant (almost all)
CNS only
multipolar
sensory (afferent) neurons
multipolar
Anatomy of the Nervous System
glial cells
CNS
oligodendrocytes
responsible for myelination in CNS
wraps plasma membrane around axons
microglia
phagocytes
cleanup dead/damaged nervous tissue
astrocytes
most numerus

has microvilli
simple columnar/cuboidal epithelium
lines spaces filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in brain and spinal cord
PNS
