Today’s Objective
Knowledge
O How a nerve impulse
works
O Types of
neurotransmitters
O Types of impulse
patterns
Skills
O Identify important
features that allow a
nerve impulse to work
Big Idea:
O Nerves are the core
building block of the
nervous system.
Understanding how they
transmit information to
the spine and brain is an
important component of
understanding how the
nervous system works
and very important to
many nervous system
diseases.
How will we get there?

Unit 7
Unit 7: Nervous Impulse
Nerve Impulse: 6 steps
Nerves start at resting potential: High
concentrations of Na outside and high
concentration of K inside. Caused because of
differing diffusion rates. Also caused by Na/K
pump (Na out, K in). Leaves the inside of a
neuron slightly negative.
2. Neurotransmitter is received at dendrite
triggering an action potential.
3. Sodium channels open and allow sodium into
neuron (inside become neutral).
1.
Nerve Impulse: 6 steps
4. Potassium channels open and allow
potassium out (inside becomes negative
again).
5. The action potential triggers action
potentials further along the neuron
creating a wave of action potentials from
the dendrite to the axon (nerve impulse).
6. Na/K pump restores balance of ions.
Limiting Factors
O Schwann cells
prevent the
movement of ionsbecause of this, the
action potentials
only take place at
the nodes of
Ranvier. This
allows for the faster
transmission of a
nerve impulse.
Impulse Vocabulary
O When the nerve impulse reaches
the end of the axon, it will stimulate
the release of a neurotransmitter.
If that neurotransmitter increases
the chances of an action potential,
we call it excitatory. If it decreases
the chances, we call in inhibitory.
Impulse Vocabulary
O When nerve impulses move, they
can converge (come together
from many areas which is
common from many sensory
organs) or diverge (spread out
which is common when an
impulse is being sent to cause a
muscle contraction).
Guided Practice: Continue on
Notes
O Let’s diagram the stages of
the impulse together.
O This will help us to visualize a
microscopic process and help
solidify our mastery of this
standard.
Independent Practice
O Complete the following worksheet to practice
your newly acquired knowledge
O Expectations:
If its independent it means silent. Volume level 0
Use your notes and textbook for assistance first.
If you still need assistance raise your hand.
You should finish this worksheet before the end of
class.

O How the nervous system processes and
responds to nerve impulses reflects the
organization of neurons in the brain and
spinal cord.
O Which vocabulary words signifies when
impulses from two or more incoming axons
combine on a single neuron?
O Which vocabulary word signifies that one
impulse passes into several output neurons?
Nervous System, Nerves
and Impulses
O Take out your worksheet assigned last class.
I will be circulating to check for credit.
O We will be going over it together.
Today’s Objectives
Knowledge:
O Parts of a reflex arc
O Functions of a reflex
arc
Skills:
O Diagram and label
the parts of a reflex
arc
Big Idea:
O The reflex arc is the
core unit of a reflex
as well as being a
great demonstration
of how neurons and
processing centers
work together and
are interconnected.
How are we going to get

O CYR #27-30
Reflex Function
O This system is designed for speed and
protection. It allows for a quick decision to
save the body from damage (not falling for
knee jerk to less damage from withdrawal
response). It doesn’t involve the brain in
order to save time.
Reflex Arc: Structure
O Sensory receptor:
O What receives the sensory information-many
types we will talk about on Friday.
O Sensory neuron:
O The neuron that receives the sensory info.
Goes from the sensory receptor into the
spine. Synapse in spine.
Reflex Arc: Structure
O Interneuron:
O In the spine, part of the reflex center,
processes the information quickly. Sends
response as well as info to brain. Synapse in
spine.
O Motor neuron:
O The neuron that sends the response from the
interneuron to the muscle.
O Effecter muscle:
O receive the impulse and reacts by
contracting.
Guided Practice
O Students will get into groups of 3
and diagram a reflex arc. They
will be asked to include all three
types of neurons, label the parts
of a neuron, and include the
receptor and effector as well.

O If you finish early work on your
homework assignment:
O Diagram the major divisions of the brain
and spinal cord
Do Now 10 minutes
Use page 234 and 235 to diagram the
brain’s four major divisions.
O You will need to read through 9.14 to
identify these four major divisions.
O Use the diagrams on page 235 to locate
and identify these divisions.
O Don’t include extra features!
O Make it big enough to add notes!
Color coding will allow for
better notes.
Today’s Objectives
Knowledge:
O Location of the major
division of the brain and
spinal cord
O Purposes of the major
regions of the brain
O Purpose of the spinal cord
Skills:
O Identify the symptoms brain
injuries will produce based
on the region of injury.
O Identify the region of the
brain injured based on the
symptoms of the injury.
O Identify the symptoms of a
spinal cord injury
Big Idea:
O The brain is the main
processing center of our
central nervous system.
Understanding the
modularity of the brain is
important not only in
understanding how the
brain functions but also
how it evolved and how
brain injuries impact
individuals.
