Nervous System Organization
Cells of Nervous System Neurons or nerve cells Receive stimuli and Neuron transmit action cell body Presynaptic terminals Dendrites potentials Schwann Node of Axon cell Ranvier Organization Cell body or soma Myel Axon sheath Collateral Dendrites. Input hillock formed by axon Schwann cell\ Axons: Output Nissl bodies Nucleus Nucleolus Neuroglia or glial cells Dendritic spine Golgi apparatus Support and protect Mitochondrion neurons
Cells of Nervous System • Neurons or nerve cells – Receive stimuli and transmit action potentials – Organization • Cell body or soma • Dendrites: Input • Axons: Output • Neuroglia or glial cells – Support and protect neurons

Typical Neuron has 4 Regions • Cell Body • Dendrites • Axon • Presynaptic Terminals Each region is specialized for its particular function Information flows in a single direction 1. Structure and Function
Neuron cell body location Most are found in the central nervous system o Gray matter-cell bodies and unmylenated fibers o nuclei-clusters of cell bodies within the White matter of the central nervous system Ganglia -collections of cell bodies outside the central nervous system
Neuron Cell Body Location • Most are found in the central nervous system •Gray matter – cell bodies and unmylenated fibers •Nuclei – clusters of cell bodies within the white matter of the central nervous system • Ganglia – collections of cell bodies outside the central nervous system
