Organize the following terms describing functional types of neurons into a map or outline: afferent, autonomic, brain, central, efferent, enteric, parasympathetic, peripheral, sensory, somatic motor, spinal, sympathetic.
To determine: The outline map of the nervous system describing the functional types of the neurons.
Introduction: The nervous system is a part of the animal body which control and coordinates all the functions by transmitting the signals to and from the different parts of the body.
Answer to Problem 1CC
Pictorial representation: Fig 1 represents the components of the nervous system.
Fig 1: The outline map of the nervous system.
Explanation of Solution
The nervous system is divided into two major parts, the central nervous system, and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system consists of two parts the spinal cord and the brain. The peripheral nervous system has two divisions the efferent neurons (motor) and the afferent neurons (sensory). The afferent division carries the information from the sensory receptors or the sensory organs to the central nervous system while the efferent division carries the impulses from the central nervous system to the peripheral organs. The efferent division consists of two components which are the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system controls the body movement via skeletal muscles, and the autonomic nervous system controls the movement of smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, adipose tissues, and glands. The autonomic nervous system is divided into three parts, parasympathetic nervous system, sympathetic nervous system, and enteric nervous system.

- Draw a neuron, label the following parts and give their functions: Cell body, nucleus, axon, myelin, schwann cell, nodes of Ranvier dendrites, synaptic knob, impulse,arrow_forwardDraw a chain of two neurons that synapse on one another in sequence. Label the presynaptic and postsynaptic ends of each neuron, the cell bodies, dendrites, axons, axon hillock and axon terminals, location of voltage gated Ca²+ channels, location of voltage gated Na+ channels, location of voltage gated K* channels, location of Na*/ K+ pumps, location of neurotransmitter storage, location of neurotransmitter receptors. Consider your drawing and describe the function of neurons. Include an explanation why neurons are considered polarized cells and how this relates to their function. (Polarized here is not referring to membrane potential as all cells have a membrane potential). This means you will need to explain the location of different channels in the neuron and the relationship of the channels to the function of a neuron.arrow_forwardIdentify and label the following structures on the neuron model figure below: cell body, dendrites, neuron nucleus, neurolemma, axon hillock, nucleus of Schwann cell, Nissl bodies, myelin sheath, axon, node of Ranvier, axon terminals (of neurons synapsing with model neuron), endoneurium (refer to Figure 10.6). 3) 11arrow_forward
- a) How does E allow faster transmission of signals? b) What would happen if G has a lack of Calcium? c) Most neurons have the style of junction (chemical) shown in the diagram, rather than gap (electrical) junctions. Why does this make sense?arrow_forwardDescribe three structures found in neurons that are also in other cell types, and describe two structures that are unique to neurons.arrow_forwardWith respect to the three structural types of neurons (unipolar, bipolar & multipolar): State which parts of each type of neuron receive information, which parts integrate information, and which parts conduct the output signal of the neuron. Describe the location of the cell bodies of each type of neuron within the nervous system.arrow_forward
- Name the structural components of a typical neuron.arrow_forwardList and describe the two types of cells found in the nervous system. Discuss, in detail, how neurons communicate with each other, including the role of neurotransmitters. Include a description of how different neurotransmitters mediate behaviors and cognitive processes. Watch this Sandrine Thuret’s “You can grow new brain cells. Here’s how” and Sebastian Seung’s “I am my connectome” and summarize, in detail, the main points. Discuss what each video tells us about the function of neurons in creating our thoughts and behaviors. What do you personally think are the most important ideas from each video? Why? Define the terms sensation and perception. Watch the “Do we see reality as it is?” and “Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality” videos and describe the main points of each video in detail. Discuss what the textbook says about how the brain constructs our perceptions of the world. With the information from the videos and textbook, how accurate or “real” do you think our…arrow_forwardMatch each region of a neuron to the category of ion channels (ligand-gated ion channels, voltage-gated calcium channels, or voltage-gated sodium and potassium channels) found there: Axon: Axon terminal: Dendrite: Axon hillock:arrow_forward
