Lecture 7  this lecture relates to a series of other lectures (not VI)

Learning objectives

 Describe the major components of the nervous system

(e.g. central/peripheral/autonomic)

 Describe the major functional structures in the CNS

 Describe the structure and function of the meninges, ventricles and CSF

 Describe the role of the blood brain barrier

 Apply common anatomical terms for position and direction in the body

1.3 – 1.4 kg brain, plus spinal cord and all peripheral nerves

- ~20% of energy in body and ~25% of glucose utilization

- Contains ~86 000 000 000 neurons (86 billion)

~ same number of glial cells, 100 trillion synapses

CNS – encased in bone – brain and spinal cord

PNS – everything else (somatic and autonomic components)

Somatic component all of the spinal nerves that innervate skin, joints and muscles

that are under voluntary control

(see Sensory lectures in Weeks 4-5 and Motor lectures in Weeks 6-7)

- Efferents to skeletal muscle

- Afferents from sensory receptors in skin, muscles and tendons

Autonomic (or Visceral) component  blood pressure; oxygen content. Can use this

information to regulate heart rate and diameter of blood vessels.

(see ANS Lectures in Week 8)

- Efferents to smooth muscle, heart and glands

- Afferents from sensors in internal organs (e.g. viscera) and blood supply

Nerve  a bundle of axons

Some anatomical terms (assumed knowledge, not tested)

Rostral – towards the nose

Caudal – towards the tail

Dorsal – towards the back (think shark)

Ventral – towards the belly

In humans, these axes are different in the spinal cord and head

Lateral – towards the side

Medial – towards the middle

Coronal = frontal (think crown)

Mid-sagittal – symmetrically divides body at midline

13. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are experienced by many people during their lifetimes. Urinary tract infections can involve any bacterial infection of the urinary system structures; the kidneys, bladder, ureters, or urethra. They are caused by bacteria entering the body through the urethra and traveling upward into the body. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort when urinating to extreme pain and the loss of blood during urination. They occur more frequently in women than men, and are often treated by antibiotics in addition to home remedies, such as drinking more water and drinking cranberry juice.

Based on what you have learned about the cause of urinary tract infections, which of the following precautions would help to prevent reoccurring infections?

Taking pain medication when symptoms occur

Placing a hot pack on the abdomen when symptoms occur

Practicing good hygiene Exercising regularly

14. The nervous system is divided into two major divisions: the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System. Those divisions have structures that can be classified as belonging to two different subdivisions: the Somatic and the Autonomic systems. The nervous system can be summarized as a complex system of interconnected nerves and special cells called neurons that are used to transmit information (by means of small electrical impulses). Use the information in the table below to help answer questions about the nervous system. Division Organs & Structures Functions Central Nervous System (CNS) Brain Spinal Cord Nerves This is the bodyâs assessment and communication center. It analyzes the information received from the sensory neurons and responds. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) Sensory Neurons Ganglia (clusters of neurons) Nerves that connect to one another and to the CNS The sensory neurons react to physical stimuli such as light, sound, heat, and pressure, and transmit that information to the CNS. Subdivisions Description Examples Somatic The Somatic system is comprised of nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the muscles of the body and sensory receptors in the skin. Reactions to physical stimuli like heat or light. Using your hand to touch Eating food Autonomic The Autonomic system largely involuntary. This system controls the unconscious functions of the body. Breathing Blood Pressure

Feeling overwhelmed or startled by exposure to very loud noises is likely a reaction to information collected by which subdivision of the nervous system:

Somatic

Autonomic

15. The thyroid gland is perhaps the most well-known member of the pancreatic system. Many adults are screened for thyroid problems during routine physical exams. This butterfly shaped gland is found at the base of the neck and releases hormones that affect the bodyâs metabolism (the way the body uses energy). The thyroidâs two main hormones are T3 and T4, and they affect many body functions, including: â¢ Breathing â¢ Heart rate â¢ Central and peripheral nervous systems â¢ Body weight â¢ Muscle strength â¢ Menstrual cycles â¢ Body temperature â¢ Cholesterol levels Two common disorders associated with the thyroid include hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Some of the symptoms associated with these disorders are listed in the table below. Hyperthyroidism (Too many hormones released) Hypothyroidism (Too few hormones released) Anxiety Irritability or moodiness Nervousness, hyperactivity Sweating or sensitivity to high temperatures Hand trembling (shaking) Hair loss Missed or light menstrual periods Trouble sleeping Tiredness and fatigue Difficulty concentrating Dry skin and hair Depression Sensitivity to cold temperature Frequent, heavy periods Joint and muscle pain A patient complains of arthritis-like pain in the joints of her hands, but tests for arthritis come back negative. The doctor then suggests a thyroid function test. The doctor is most likely concerned about:

High levels of T3 and T4 hormones in the body

Low levels of T3 and T4 hormones in the body

The person who is able to help me with the CORRECT answers will be compensated with 3000 points! This assignment will be graded instantly by a computer so I will know if the person actually tried or if they just put in some crazy answers just to get the points. The points will be rewarded IMMEDIATELY after the assignment is graded, which, as I stated above is done instantly by the computer once submitted. At least 75 to 80% of the questions must be correct in order to receice all 3000 points today. Thank you SO much in advance!!! :)
