Disorders/Diseases
Major divisions and subdivisions of the nervous system
- Multi polar Neurons: Many dendrites
- Bipolar Neurons: 2 Processes extending from cell body
- Uni polar neurons: 1 process extending from cell body
Functional Classification
- Sensory (afferent) Neurons; Normally Uni polar
- Inter Neurons (multi polar neurons)
- Motor (efferent) Neurons; Multi polar
Neurons: Cells that communicate, via electrical impulses, with other neurons or other tissues
Neurogila: Cells that support, nourish, protect, & insulate neurons
Pia matter: Thin, inner coating, closest to the brain, clear
Dura matter: Tough outer part of the brain, thick coating.
The signal is first sent to the receptors, then motor neuron, then finally the muscle. Its to help our body quickly react to things.
Neurons that allow communication throughout multiple neurons.
serotonin, dopamine, glutamate, and acetylcholine.
Spinal nerves are found in the spinal cord. They allow for movements of multiple parts of the body and allow for many sensory inputs.
There are 31 total spinal nerves, the thoratic, lumbar and cervical
Reciving, processing, and responding to sensory information
- Cerebrum
- Cerebellum
- Brain stem
Helps with sight, touch, poster, motor skills, and regulates the body overall.
