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.
