PPT-Motor neurone disease What is motor neurone disease?

Motor Neurone Disease MND is an uncommon disease that affects the brain and nerves In MND your motor nerves become damaged and eventually stop working and you gradually lose your strength There is currently no cure for Motor Neurone Disease . Schwann Cells. Myelin Sheath . Node of Ranvier. Motor neurones transmit impulses from the central nervous system to effector (muscle or gland). . The myelin sheath is formed by . Schwann Cells . wrapping themselves around the axon along its length. The enclosing sheath is made of lipids and proteins. The sheath increases the speed of conduction of nerve impulses. .

Reflex action is a rapid automatic and involuntary response to a stimulus which is not under the control of the brain.. Reflex . Arc (NAT 5 ONLY). PUPIL NOTES. By the end of the lesson you will be able to ….. . Describe how a neurone is suited to it’s function.. Describe the flow of information through a reflex arc.. Nervous system. Parts of our body we use to sense things are called . SENSE ORGANS. – eye, ear, mouth, skin, nose.. . Each SENSE ORGAN has special cells called . RECEPTOR CELLS. . Each receptor cell is sensitive to different things.. The nervous system works by sending electrical impulses along neurones (nerve cells).. The Nervous System. There are two main parts:. Central nervous system. – brain and spinal cord. A network of nerves. It receives sensory stimuli from internal and external environments. . It responds in a coordinated manner. .
