Two major anatomical divisions are:
empezar lección
the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS).
CNS consists of
empezar lección
the brain and the spinal cord.
PNS consists of
empezar lección
nerves that carry sensory messages to the CNS and motor commands from the CNS to the muscles and glands.
Two types of cells are:
empezar lección
neurons and neuroglia.
Neurons funtions are to:
empezar lección
transmit nerve impulses between parts of the nervous system.
Neuroglia functions are to:
empezar lección
support and nourish neurons, maintain homeostasis, form myelin and may aid in signal transmission.
Neurons consist of:
empezar lección
a cell body, dendrites and an axon.
The cell body contains
empezar lección
the nucleus and other organelle.
Dendrites are
empezar lección
extensions leading toward the cell body that receive signals from other neurons.
An axon function is to:
empezar lección
conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body toward other neurons or effectors.
Different sorts of neurons are:
empezar lección
sensory neurons, interneurons and motor neurons.
A sensory neuron function is to:
empezar lección
take messages to the CNS.
A sensory neuron may be equipped with:
empezar lección
endings called sensory receptors that detect changes in the environment.
An interneuron lies
empezar lección
within the CNS.
An interneuron function is to:
empezar lección
receive input from sensory neurons and from other interneurons. Sum up all the messages received from sensory neurons before communicate with motor neurons.
A motor neuron function is to:
empezar lección
take messages away from the CNS to an effector.
