This process involves adding myelin around the axons‚ which conduct electrical impulses. (Myelin insulates the axons‚ allowing impulses

neurons‚ relay neurons‚ and effector. 2. Describe the events of an action potential. The events that take place are that the motor neuron will be stimulated. At the axon hillock‚ this will cause Na+ to rush into the axon‚ triggering an action potential. Once that happens then the action potential will propagate down the axon until it reaches the terminal button. Here‚ Ca++ will enter the cell. This stimulates exocytosis of neurotransmitter molecules (acetylcholine in this case). We have that

slightly negative inside and slightly positive outside. It has to be in this state in order to receive a message. First the brain sends a message to the muscle using a neuron then reaches the axon terminal of the neuron. Calcium gates then open on the axon terminal allowing calcium to rush in. Ach release from axon terminals‚ diffuses across the synaptic clef and binds to (receptors) on motor end plate. Then Ach receptor channel opens and increases permeability of Na+ into karyoplasms. This allows sodium

cord consists of a superficial White matter and a deep Gray matter. The white matter consists of myelinated axons‚ which form nerve tracts and the Gray matter consists of neuron cell bodies‚ dendrites and axons. The white matter in each half of the spinal cord is organized into ventral‚ dorsal and lateral columns. Each column is subdivided into tracts also called pathways. A collection of axon inside the CNS is called a tract but outside the CNS it is called a nerve. Spinal nerves arise from

Case Study 1 While Amy is cooking dinner for her family‚ when she is removing the pot Amy accidently touched the burner. Her skin at her finger tips cause her reflexes to take charge and she immediately pulls her finger away from the stove and this is because of what we call the sensory receptors. Our sensory receptors enable us to react to things such as when we go walking sandy beach in bare feet and step on a pointed shells or rock‚ or some other sharp foreign object and we quickly sit on ground

Without question‚ the nervous system is a system so intricate and comprehensive that professionals in the field of medicine to this day do not have a “complete picture” of each of the working details of the human nervous system. Of these different mechanisms‚ perhaps the one most riddled with speculation‚ is the mechanism of sleep. In discussing
