  1. Topic 1: It’s My Body Part 2: Nervous System

  2. Human Organ Systems Skeletal Muscular Circulatory Immune Respiratory Digestive Excretory Reproductive Nervous Endocrine Integumentary

  3. How the body response to the changes? The two organ systems helps body to adjust to these changes are: • The nervous systems uses electrical signal to response to changes • The hormonal system also coordinate some of the body’s responses, using hormones.

  4. WHAT PARTS DO YOU KNOW THAT ARE IN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM? • Brain • Spinal Cord • Peripheral Nerves

  5. Human Nervous System • Controls and coordinates functions throughout the body • Neurons are specialized cells that transmit impulses throughout the body. • Nervous System • Central Nervous System (Brain + spinal cord) • Peripheral Nervous System • Somatic • Autonomic • http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/body/index.shtml

  6. What makes up the brain, the spinal cord or your peripheral nerves? • Neurons are “the cell” • Cell body • Nucleus • Axon • Dendrite • What do you think surrounds the cell? • What other organelles would be needed?

  7. Dendrite Cell body Myelin sheath Axon Node of Ranvier Axon terminals Structure of Neurons

  8. 3 Types of neurons There are three main types of neurons. These types are: sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons.

  9. Neurons

  10. Close up look at your synapse (extra notes) AXON What is this in the membrane? The synapse - where the action happens Transport protein The next cell’s plasma membrane

  11. How does the Synapse carry the signal? (extra notes) 1. Electrical current travels down the axon 2. Chemicals are released and diffuse toward the next cell’s plasma membrane. This allows signals to pass through the synapse to the next neuron

  12. How the three neurons work together? Sensory neurons begin with sensory receptors (many different types of sensory receptors designed to respond to pressure, hot, cold, light, mechanical vibration, etc. )The impulse is then carried towards the CNS (Central Nervous System) by a long dendrite to the cell body. The cell body is found outside of the CNS and the short axon transmits the impulse to interneurons in the CNS. Interneuronsare located in the CNS Interneurons have many dendrites and can receive messages from numerous other neurons. Interneurons organize the numerous signals and relay the appropriate message to the motor neuron along an axon. Motor neurons receive signals from an interneuron at a dendrite. The impulse then travels to the long axon of the motor neuron and on to an effector. The effector, a muscle or gland, responds to the stimulus by contracting (muscle) or releasing a hormone or enzyme (gland).

  14. Synapse (extra notes) • Neurons are not continuous • Synapse is “The junction across which a nerve impulse passes from an axon terminal to a neuron, muscle cell or gland” • Two types of Synapses: • Excitatory • Inhibitory

  15. Are all neurons equal in size? • Brain vs spinal cord vs peripheral nerves? About how many neurons are in the human brain? 100 billion About how many neurons are in the spinal cord? 1 billion How long do you think the longest axon in the world is? around 15 feet

  16. How many synapses are in one neuron? 1,000 to 10,000!!

  17. This science is called Neurobiology • Looking at the actual cells - how do they work? • Looking at the connections - how and when do they work? • Looking at what can change normal cells and connections • Looking at diseases that occur in the brain • One of the largest areas still unknown • The you that is you is because of your neurons connecting!

  18. What do you think can change neurons and their connections? • Accidents • Drugs • Alcohol • Disease

  19. Accidents • Physical injury of your neurons

  20. Drugs and alcohol bind important receptors on neurons

  21. Repeated binding causes the neuron to die

  22. Diagram of Human Brain • http://medtropolis.com/virtual-body/ • http://www.brainline.org/multimedia/interactive_brain/the_human_brain.html?gclid=CKvFxeiK7LwCFQJrfgodNiQAFw

  23. Drugs = neuron death

  24. Alcohol damages dendrites - can repair after abstinence Alcohol blocks receptors and slows down transmission

  25. Parkinson's Disease • ALS - Lou Gehrig’s Disease • Huntington’s Disease • Multiple Sclerosis • Alzheimer's • Cerebral Palsy • Epilepsy • ? SIDS

  26. 100 Billion or so neurons - what’s the problem with some of them dying? • Cells multiply all the time - will your neurons? • Does everyone react the same way to accidents, or drugs and alcohol? • Do all organisms react the same to all stimulus? • Which of your activities use your neurons?

  27. What if neurons die here? or here or here or here or here

  28. Reflex Action

  29. What is a Reflex action?? • “An action that is performed without conscious thought as a response to a stimulus” • The signals from the receptors do not travel to the brain, instead they travel through what we call a Reflex Arc. • Spinal reflexes or Brain Reflexes • Stimulus – receptor – sensory neuron – association neuron – motor neuron – Effector - Response

  30. Reflex arc – how it works? • Reflex reactions in humans are controlled by the reflex arc. • When the safety of an organism demands a very quick response, the signals may be passed directly from a sensory neuron, via a Interneuron (also known as the relay neurone, to a motor neurone for instant, unthinking action. This is a reflex action. • A reflex arc is the nerve pathway which makes such a fast, automatic response possible • http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/add_ocr_21c/brain_mind/nervoussystemrev3.shtml

  31. Reflex actions

  32. Try These?? • Draw one reflex arc for your body’s response to touching a hot object. • Draw one reflex arc for your body’s response to standing on something sharp. • Draw one reflex arc showing your body’s response to a loud noise.

  33. Try These?? • Hypothalamus (links our nervous and endocrine systems): • Control Metabolic Activities • Water Balance • Sugar Metabolism • Body Temperature • Hormone Secretion Draw a stimulus response model for how the body would handle a change in temperature? Draw a stimulus response model for how the body may respond to a drop in water concentration? Draw a stimulus response model for how the body may respond to a drop in sugar levels?

  34. Nervous System Review

  35. Name the Two parts of the nervous system, and provide there acronyms? • Draw and Label the Key Structures of a Motor Neuron? • What are the two components of the CNS? • What are the two types of matter that make up our CNS? • How many Neurons does our brain contain?

  36. Name three parts of the Brain? • How much space does the Cerebrum take in our brain? • What does PNS stand for and what are the two components? • What are two examples of Receptors? • What function does our Somatic Nervous System play? • What are the two types of Photoreceptors found in the eye?

  37. Apart from sound, what other function does our ear play in our body coordination? • What are 3 examples of stimuli our skin can detect?

  38. Neurobiology Activities and Labs • What Does Your "Homunculus" Look Like? (www.accessexcellence.org/AE/AEPC/WWC/1991/homunculus.html) • Effect of Environment on Memory (http://www.accessexcellence.org/AE/AEC/AEF/1996/brown_memory.html) • Taste Activity (http://yucky.kids.discovery.com/flash/fun_n_games/activities/experiments/experiment_truly_tasteless.html) • A healthy brain? - Caffeine activity (http://www.pfizer.com/brain/teachers_html.html) • Pillbug behavior Lab - (http://www.udel.edu/msmith/pillbugs.html)
