PPT-Nervous System An Introduction

The Nervous System Communication Neurons are masses of nerve cells that transmit information Three main components 1 Cell Body contains the nucleus and two extensions 2 Dendrites shorter more numerous receive information. The process of neurotransmission is described in detail This module provides a key foundation for the next 57375ve modules which will discuss the impact of speci57375c drugs on the body and the brain Learning Objectives At the end of this module Stu Section 1 – Functions & Divisions of the Nervous System (pp. 386-387).

Peripheral Nervous System . (PNS) – includes nerves extending from . brain and . spinal . cord . Chemical substance released from nerve ending, carries impulses across synapses . Combines and stimulates receptors . Main neurotransmitters in ANS are:. . Acetylcholine. Noradrenaline. , . dopamine. A. Central Nervous System (CNS). 1. . Functions . A) . Acts . as command center. B) . Interprets . sensory information and dictates response based on past experience, . reflexes, . and current body conditions. Human nervous system two major parts: central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Nervous System Organization. Brain. Spinal cord. Central Nervous System. Nervous System Organization.
