Nervous System  \nName(s):.                          \nHASPI Medical Anatomy &Physiology 11a  \nLab Activity  \nPeriod:            \nDate:        \nBackground                                  \nThe Nervous SystemThe nervous system is anincredibly complex networkof tissues that are capableof carrying informationthroughout the human body.The two primary cells of thenervous system are neurons,that actually carry and storeinformation,and glial cells thatsupport the neurons.Thenervous system is broken upinto a few systems dependingon the function and location.  \n# Central Nervous System\n\nThe central nervous system,or CNS,is made up of the brain and spinal cord.The retina of the eye isalso considered part of the central nervous system.The brain is the control center of the body and ishoused within the protective hard skull.Layers of tissues called meninges and cerebrospinal fluidalso protect the CNS.The spinal cord extends from the brainstem through the vertebral column.There are 31 segments to the spinal cord,and a pair of spinal nerves extends from each segmentinto the body.  \n# Peripheral Nervous System\n\nThere are 43 pairs of nerves that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body,and theymake up the peripheral nervous system or PNS.The PNS is made up of sensory neurons that arecapable of receiving stimuli,and motor neurons that are capable of responding to stimuli.Forexample,sensory neurons in the eye are capable of receiving light stimuli and motor neurons areattached to muscles that can create movement.  \nThe PNS is broken down into the somatic and autonomic nervous systems,and the autonomic isfurther broken down into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.Diagram Asummarizes the relationship between these systems.The somatic NS is the voluntary system thatcan be controlled consciously,such as movement of muscles.The autonomic NS is the involuntarysystem and controls unconscious impulses such as the heartbeat.The sympathetic andparasympathetic systems work opposite of one another.For example,the sympathetic systemspeeds up the heart rate while the parasvmpathetic system slows down the heart rate.  \n# The Neuron\n\nThe neuron is the functional cell of the nervoussystem.It can send and receive nerve impulses.There are billions of neurons in the body,with morethan 100 billion on the surface of the brain alone.Even so,approximately 90%of cells in the brain aresupportive glial cells and only 10%are actualneurons.Neurons are made up of a cell body,dendrites,an axon,and axon terminals.When  \nsomething stimulates a dendrite,the nerve impulse travels through the dendrite,to the cell body downthe axon and axon terminals,where the impulse will be passed to the dendrites of the next neuron toperpetuate the impulse.Sensory neurons have a single specialized dendrite to receive stimuli whilemotor neurons have many dendrites.Axons are covered with a lipid-based myelin sheath created bySchwann cells that is capable of drastically speeding up the nerve impulse.  \nWhen you touch a hot pan,sensory neurons at the ends of the fingertips start a chain reaction that ispassed through neurons from the fingertip all the way to the brain.The brain is then capable ofinterpreting this reaction,most likely as “pain”or “hot”,and will immediately send a response backthrough motor neurons capable of immediately moving the finger away from the hot pan.This is anextremely fast process.  \n# The Synapse &Nerve Impulse\n\nNeurons pass impulses from the axon terminal of one neuron to the dendrite of another neuron at thesynapse.The message is actually passed between two neurons through chemicals called  \nneurotransmitters.Different neurotransmitters can relay different messages.For example,serotoninis a neurotransmitter that regulates appetite,sleep,and mood.The following steps outline theprocess of a nerve impulse at the synapse and correlates with Diagram B.  \n\n| Nerve
