Functional Classification 1. Sensory (afferent) 2. Motor (efferent) 3. Interneurons • Conducts action potentials from periphery to CNS • Transmits action potentials from CNS to periphery • Impulses to effectors • Completely within CNS • Transmits action potentials from one part of CNS to another part of CNS
Neuroglia CNS Oligodendrocyte- Forms Myelin Astrocyte- Promote blood brain barrier, nourish neuron, strengthen. "mommy" Ependymal- Produce cerebrospinal fluid, form blood brain barrier Microglia- Phagocytize bacteria
Neuroglia PNS Schwann Cell- Myelin Satellite Cell- nourish and support (The mommy for the PNS)
Disorders of the Neuroglia Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis/ Lou Gehrig's- Astrocyte's secrete toxins that destroy neurons Hungtington's- Microglia secretes toxins destroying neurons

Neurotransmitters +30 or more types Acetylcholine – stimulates skeletal muscle contractions Monoamines Norepinephrine Dopamine Norepinephrine & Dopamine generate a sense of well-being in CNS Amphetamines increases levels of dopamine & Norepinephrine Amino Acids GABA General Inhibitory neurotransmitter in CNS Opens Cl- channels, Cl- influx hyperpolarizes cell Some Anesthesia enhance GABA secretions Schizophrenia – associated with GABA deficiency Gas Nitric Oxide (NO) Vasodilator Released during sexual arousal Viagra prolongs the presence of NO
