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