1. Structure and function Typical Neuron has 4 Regions Dendrite Cell Bod Nissl substance Axon hillock A Dendrites Collateral branch Axon Neurofibrils Presynaptic terminals Schwann Each region is specialized AXoN Node of for its particular function forming the myelin sheath on axon Information flows in a single direction
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 o 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 o 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
Functional classification of Neurons o Sensory(afferent) neurons Carry impulses from the sensory receptors o Cutaneous sense organs e Proprioceptors -detect stretch or tension o Motor(efferent) neurons Carry impulses from the central nervous system
Functional Classification of Neurons • Sensory (afferent) neurons •Carry impulses from the sensory receptors •Cutaneous sense organs •Proprioceptors – detect stretch or tension • Motor (efferent) neurons •Carry impulses from the central nervous system
