Neurons and neurotransmitters
3 types of neurons
afferent neuron
from fingertips or whatever to brain
touch hot and the finger send message to brain
efferent neurons
from brain to body parts need to react
the action of pulling the hand back
interneurons
back and forth between two parts of brain or specific body parts and they go boath ways
what are the function of the various parts of the neuron
cell body and nucleous
dendrites
the cell recieves info from other cells like a network huge and intertangles
axon
elongaded dendrite and wraped in insolation
end of each axon has branches and at that end is a terminte button
synapse
space between the terminal button of one neuron and the dendrites
cell sending info
presynaptic neuron
recieving info
postsynaptic neuron
How are messages transmitted through the nervous system
resting potential
negative 70 milables
when gets a message the ion channels open and then positive ions enter through channel when the cell reaches 50 then it fires
action potential
when the cell fires
all or none law
this then causes the positive ions to be fired in a cell body to axon process like boom boom boom
after you hit 50 its fire or nothing
refractory period
after the neuron fires it has a millsec or so it wont fire again
speed of action potential
the insolation on the axon the electronic activity jumps in the myelin sheath (fatty acid) etc. omega acid such as salmon
the opening and closing ion channels in the body pumping those transmitters through the axon spaces to the next neuron
neurotransmitters(in terminal button)
step 1 presynaptic cell gets info
step 2 releases
step 3 action potential jumps down axon
step 4 at terminal button dumps contents
step 5 post synaptic picks up those neurotransmitters
step 6 retake them
release
it mobilizies these vessiles
like a capsule
when the vessile reaches the cell wall then the vesicle it melts away andthe info is spilled into synapes
receptor
they are transmembrane
half in the wall half out
they can either fit like a key (neuron
reuptake
left over neuronic message
after action potential is in the terminal button has the same receptors
the presynaptic cell recapcilizes it
specific neurotransmitters
acetylcholine
movement and sleep (muscles)
dopamine
primary reinforcing
pleasure, happiness
released during drug activities
norepinephrine
in brain
fight or flight response
focus on a task like survival (most times)
shuts down parts of the brain that arent needed
problems of high arousal
nervous before an exam
epinephrine
body
adrinal glands
adraline
muscles and organs
we need to maximize energy sources
shuts down other processes that your body doesnt need and says to send resources to other places like muscles
serotonin
moods
depression meds use it
glutamate
primary excitatory transmitter
memory and learning
gaba
primary inihibtor transmitter
when released it tells the next cell to do nothing
endorphins(class of transmitters)
makes you happy
reduces pain signals
Brain
3 brain catogories
Hindbrain
oldest structures of the brain
pons
relays motor messages
medulla
heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, swallowing and coughing
spinal cord
simple reflexes connects brain to peripheral
reticular formation
arousal
cerebellum
muscle tone and posture
midbrain
sustantia nigra
unconscious motoe action
Forbrain
Thalamus
like a switch board
hypothalamus
hunger
thirst
body temp
helps contorols endocrince system (hormones)
involved in emotions
cerebral cortex
corpus callosum
limbic system
memory
emotional
Cerebum
largest structure in brain
its function includes language, plannign logic
outermost part is cortex
corpus callosum
connect two hemispheres and passes info between them
cerebral cortex
frontal lobe
reasoning
logic decison making
one of first when u drink
broca's area
cant speak well
temperal lobe
by the temples
Wermicke's area
understandinng language (spoking)
somatosensory
lips feet hand legs
get neurons
send to motor cotrex who sends neurons to muscles
