what is the difference between a neuromodulator and a neurotransmitter?

a neurotransmitter is substance released by the neuron into the synapse to cause a change in the membrane potential of the postsynaptic cells. A neuromodulator is a small peptide molecule release by the synaptic membrane which may alter the rate of neurotransmitter release or change the response of the postsynaptic membrane to the neurotransmitter

oligodendrocytes

mechanical

open in response to distortion or change in the surface of the cell membrane

voltage-gated

passive and leak channels

synapse involves 2 cells

presynaptic cell- sends a message "includes synaptic terminal postsynaptic cells- receives the message

study guide

neuroglia (glial cells)

supporting cells, functions essential to the survival of a neuron

schwann cells

neuromuscular junction

synapse between a neuron and a muscle

Automatic Nervous System

"visceral motor system"provides automatic regulation of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glandular secretions ANS includes sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.

What does the sodium potassium exchange pump do

-Important for maintaining resting transmembrane potential of cell membrane. Active pump which uses ATP to move ions into and out of cell

3,2

What is demyelination and how does it affect the nervous system?

Demyelination is loss of myelin surrounding axons. As a result speed of transmission decreases and info will not arrive in a timely manner. Info processing can be effected and prevent coordination of activities

What neurotransmitter causes depolarization and promote generation of action potentials

Excitatory

What is the movement of the transmembrane potential away from resting potential as it becomes even more negative

Hyperpolarization

somatic sensory neuron

monitor the outside world

A neurotransmitter that is widely distributed in the brain and portions of he ANS is

Norepinephrine

Microglia

Remove cell debris, wastes and pathogens by phagocytosis

Why

Saltatory propagation creates a local current which moves very quickly from node to node as a result of the insulation created by the myelin sheath. Te myelin sheath prevents loss of charge through the axolemma and increases speed of transmission

What are the two anatomic divisions of the peripheral nervous system? what parts do they include?

Sensory of afferent division-carries information to the central nervous system motor or efferent division- relay info from CNS to peripheral tissues, including muscles, glands, and other nerves. it is divided into 2 systems

2 systems

Somatic nervous system-vlountary and controls skeletal muscle Autonomic division-controls smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, adipose tissue and glands. Controlled at a subconscious level

bipolar

have two distinct processes -rare -special sense organs relay sight, smell hearing to other neurons

peripheral nervous system

includes all neural tissue outside of the CNS -it delivers info to to CNS - carries out motor commands from CNS

ependymal cells

line the central canal and ventricles of the brain and spinal cord; circulate and monitor cerebrospinal fluid

Astrocytes

maintain blood brain barrier; provide structural support; regulate ion nutrient and dissolved gas concentrations. -absorb and recycle neurotransmitters; form scar tissue after injury fingerlike projections cover capillaries like a blanket

The effects of the neurotransmitter on the post synaptic membrane depends on

many factors, most importantly the properties of the receptor cell membrane

interoceptors

monitor digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, urinary, and reproductive systems and provide sensation of dissension, deep pressure or pain

visceral sensory neuron

monitor internal conditions

what are the functions of the CNS

to control and perform all communication within the nervous system, including processing of info and control of functions the nervous system integrates incoming stimuli with monitoring and control of internal processes(respiration,cardiac function, digestion, kidney function, and hormonal processes) vital for hemostasis
