Document Summary
Lecture 12 cells of the nervous system. Enables the body to respond to external and internal changes. Nervous system is in the entire body and is divided into 2 divisions. Pns: cranial, spinal and peripheral nerves, ganglia (outside cns) and sensory receptors: ganglia: thickenings of nerve where cell bodies lie. Things that body needs to know to maintain homeostasis. Independent autonomic system innervating the gastrointestinal system: small autonomic nervous system that innervates the intestine and digestive glands. Interacts with autonomic nervous system: = brain in the guts. Major function: signaling: sensory (touch, temperature, pain, propriocepton, motor (smooth and striated) Interneurons (networking (99. 9%) attention: brain has projection and interneurons) Convey sensory information to the brain and motor output from the brain. 100 billion are in our nervous system. Postmitotic cells: cannot divide anymore: from the day you are born, you lose neurons, neurons die but there are so many that we can compensate for it and do not need them all.
