Galena Park High SchoolA&

PII. Physical Organization

B. Peripheral Nervous System 1. Nerves leaving the spinal cord 2. Location of sensory neurons 3. Transmits impulses to organs and glands

Galena Park High SchoolA&

P

A. Afferent Division 1. Moves impulses from sensory cells to the brain a. Somatic Sensors-from skin, skeletal and joints b. Visceral Sensors from organs

Galena Park High SchoolA&

PIII. Functional Organization Peripheral Nervous System

B. Efferent Division (motor) 1. Carries impulses from brain to the organs and muscles 2. The impulse creates a response or a motor response

Galena Park High SchoolA&

P

C. Sub-divisions of the Motor Division 1. Voluntary system a. Mostly skeletal Muscle b. Can be controlled by our actions

2. Involuntary system a. Cardiac Muscle b. Smooth Muscle c. We do not control them. They are controlled by the brain

Galena Park High SchoolA&

P

3. Parts of the Involuntary system a. Sympathetic –generally maintains activities of systems at rest or doing natural tasks b. Parasympathetic – generally reacts to stress when systems out of balance c. Both work in opposition to each other

nervous system b. Cell Body- main sections of the cell which has the organelles c. Dendrites – branched appendages that carry the impulse toward the cell body

Galena Park High SchoolA&

P

d. Axon – Branched appendage that carries the impulse away from the cell body nervous system e. Axon Terminal – End of an axon filled with neurotransmitters f. Synapse – Gap between neurons over which the impulse is carried by neurotransmitter

Galena Park High SchoolA&

P

A. Resting Membrane 1. Waiting for stmuli

2. Outside of membrane- positive 3. Inside of membrane - negative

Galena Park High SchoolA&

PIV. Generating an Impulse

B. Depolarization 1. Stimuli changes permeability of membrane

2. Positive ions rush in 3. Inside becomes more positive; outside becomes more negative

Galena Park High SchoolA&

P

C. Generation of Active Potential 1. If stimulus is strong, entire membrane switches polarity

2. This causes a flow of electricity

Galena Park High SchoolA&

P

D. Propagation of Action Potential 1. After first spot on membrane changes polarity

2. The change moves down the entire length of the membrane

Galena Park High SchoolA&

P

E. Repolarization 1. Stimulus disappears and membrane permeability return to normal

2. Positive ions flow out and original positive and negative condition is restored

Galena Park High SchoolA&

P

F. End of the Line 1. When action potential reaches end of the axon, a neurotransmitter is released into the synaptic cleft

2. Neurotransmitter diffuses across cleft and attaches to receptors on the next nerve 3. Impulse process starts again for next nerve cell

Galena Park High SchoolA&

P

A. Five Parts of a Reflex Arc 1. Receptor-Senses the Stimulus

2. Sensory Neuron-Takes impulse to spinal cord 3. Integration Center – Transfers impulse into a response
