Central N.S.
Peripheral N.S.
Brain Spinal Cord Made of 12 cranial
nerves & 31 spinal
No potential for

regeneration
PNS
A.Afferent (sensory) division
carries messages toward
CNS.
B. Efferent (motor) division
carries messages away from
CNS toward muscles & glands
(somatic).
Sympathetic NS
Fight or Flight
• Dilates pupils
• Reduces saliva,
mucus, peristalsis,
intestinal motility,
urine secretion
• Increases heart
rate, glycogen to
glucose conversion
Parasympathetic NS
Digest & Rest
• Constricts pupils
• Reduces heart
rate
• Increases mucus
production, gastric
juice production,
digestion, urine
production,
intestinal tract
motility,
peristalsis
II. Histology of the N.S.
2 types of cells: neurons & support cells (neuroglia)
A.Neurons –
1. Are excitable, irritable,
& conductive.
– nerve cells
– functional unit of n.s.
Neurons are not nerves!
Nerves are bundles of PNS fibers held together by
several layers of connective tissue
A. Neurons
2. Structure.
a. Cell body
b. Dendrites

incoming
signals
towards
cell
body
A. Neurons
2. Structure
c. Axons
transmit
signals
away
from cell
body
2. Structure
c. Axons
• Myelin Sheath membrane
"insulation"
around axons
• Nodes of Ranvier
- gaps between
myelin
2. Structure
c. Axons
• Nissil bodies rough endoplasmic
reticulum... Lots of
protein synthesis
• Synaptic vesicles stores
neurotransmitter at
axon terminal
Structural Classification of Neurons
Regeneration
A. Neurons do not reproduce themselves, but they can
regenerate new parts sometimes.
B. If a neuron is cut through a myelinated axon, the
proximal portion may survive if the cell body is not
damaged.
C. The distal portion will die (degenerate).
Macrophages move into the area and remove debris.
D. Neuron cell body reorganizes its Nissl bodies to
provide proteins necessary for axon growth.
E. The Schwann cells form a regeneration tube that
helps guide the axon to its proper destination.
Regeneration
F. New fiber will eventually fill the myelin sheath and
innervate the muscle. Growth occurs at 3-5 mm/day.
(1 mm = 0.04 inch)
G. In the CNS, this repair is unlikely because the
neurons lack the neurilemma necessary to form the
regeneration tube. Also, the astrocytes quickly fill
the damaged area forming scar tissue. Most CNS
injuries cause permanent damage.
Regeneration
H. Crushing and bruising can also damage nerve fibers
resulting in paralysis. Inflammation of the injury site
damages more fibers. Early treatment with
methyprednisolone reduces inflammation and
decreases severity of injury. It must be given within
8 hours to be effective.

III. Neurophysiology
A.Membrane Properties
1. Neurons must be able to transmit their
excitable response that started either in
the dendrites or the nerve cell body down
through the axon.
2. When at rest, the neuron has more +
charges outside the cell membrane than inside.
3. This electric imbalance called the resting
membrane potential or simply stated the
Resting potential is the difference b/w the 2
sides of the neuron’s membrane when the cell
is not conducting an impulse
Resting Potential
A. Membrane Properties
3. Resting Potential ion distribution
• Lg # Na+ outside; K+ inside
A. Membrane Properties
4. Changes in ion distribution cause
Stimulation of membrane
Opens ion channels (pores)
• When this occurs it is called an
Action Potential or simply stated
an Action potential is the electrical
signal that rapidly travels along the axon
of neurons causing changes in ion
distribution.
III. Neurophysiology
B. Action Potentials
1.Are a specialized kind of
electric signal generated
only by neurons and muscle
cells
2.are self-propagating
3.are all-or-none events.
III. Neurophysiology
C. Action Potentials have 3 Phases
1.Depolarization
• Rapid (1 msec)
• sodium channels open, Na+
rush in
III. Neurophysiology
C. Action Potentials have 3 Phases
1.Depolarization
•Ends in an overshoot
(i.e. brief period of time
inside of cell is more
positive than outside)
III. Neurophysiology
C. Action Potentials have 3 Phases
2.Repolarization
• Na+ channels close
• K+ channels open and K+
rushes out
III. Neurophysiology
C. Action Potentials have 3 Phases
2.Repolarization
• overshoots the
resting point
III. Neurophysiology
C. Action Potentials have 3 Phases
3.Undershoot Phase
• Membrane is hyperpolarized
back to the resting potential
• K+ channels close
• Na+/K+ pump reestablishes
the resting potential
• 3 Na+ moved for 2 K+
Na+ / K+ Pump
Reestablishes Resting
Potential
III. Neurophysiology
D. Nerve Impulse
1. Impulse conduction
• Unmyelinated fibers conduct
impulse over entire membrane
surface.
• Myelinated fibers conduct
impulse from node to node
2. Action potential spreads down the
fiber to adjacent areas of
membrane

How the neurons work with the brain
III. Neurophysiology
E.All or None Response
1.If the nerve fiber responds to
the impulse, it responds
completely
2.Greater intensity of
stimulation triggers more
impulses per second, not
stronger impulses

XI. Pain Perception
A. Gate Control Theory
1.Without any stimulation, both large
and small nerve fibers are quiet
and the inhibitory interneuron (I)
blocks the signal in the projection
neuron (P) that connects to the
brain. The "gate is closed" and
therefore NO PAIN
XI. Pain Perception
A. Gate Control Theory
2.With non-painful stimulation, large
nerve fibers are activated
primarily. This activates the
projection neuron (P), BUT it ALSO
activates the inhibitory interneuron
(I) which then BLOCKS the signal
in the projection neuron (P) that
connects to the brain. The "gate is
closed" and therefore NO PAIN.
XI. Pain Perception
A. Gate Control Theory
3.With pain stimulation, small nerve
fibers become active. They
activate the projection neurons (P)
and BLOCK the inhibitory
interneuron (I). Because activity of
the inhibitory interneuron is
blocked, it CANNOT block the
output of the projection neuron
that connects with the brain. The
"gate is open", therefore, PAIN!!
I = "Inhibitory Interneuron"; P = "Projection Neuron"
- = inhibition (blocking); + = excitation (activation)
XI. Pain Perception
B. Controlling Pain
1.Aspirin: acts mostly in PNS;
reduces inflammation
2.Morphine: acts in CNS to block
pain messages
3.Acupuncture:
stimulates large
diameter fibers
that inhibit pain
(closes the gate)
