Give 3 examples of Effectors : (Effectors are parts of the body that produce a response) http://arturogoicoechea.wordpress.com/2010/05/24/neuronasneurons/
Give 3 examples of Effectors : (Effectors are parts of the body that produce a response) • a muscle contracting to move an arm • a muscle squeezing saliva from the salivary gland • a gland releasing a hormone into the blood
Lo peor no es cometer un error, sino tratar de justificarlo, en vez de aprovecharlo como aviso providencial de nuestra ligereza o ignorancia.
The central nervous system is comprised of the brain and spinal cord. • The peripheral nervous system includes all peripheral nerves.
C.N.S. • Cerebrum • Cerebellum • Brain stem
Name the two structures which make up the central nervous system.

Nerves • Nerves → Collections of neurons that are joined together by connective tissue.
The Neuron • The basic functional unit of the nervous system.

Function: • Send impulses to and from the Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System and the effectors (muscles/glands)
Dendrite→ Fine hair-like extensions on the end of a neuron. • Function: receive incoming stimuli. • Cell Body or Soma → The control center of the neuron. • Function: Directs impulses from the dendrites to the axon. • Nucleus → Control center of the Soma. • Function: Tells the soma what to do. • Axon→ Pathway for the nerve impulse (electrical message) from the soma to the opposite end of the neuron. • Myelin Sheath → An insulating layer around an axon, It is made up of Schwann cells. • Nodes of Ranvier → Gaps between schwann cells. • Function: Saltatory Conduction (Situation where speed of an impulse is greatly increased by the message ‘jumping’ the gaps in an axon).

Complete the passage below, selecting the appropriate words from the list below.sensory, nerve fibre, cell body, impulses, dendrons, dendrites, motor, contact, axons, synapses, cytoplasm A neurone consists of a cell body(A) containing a nucleus surrounded by cytoplasm (B). Branching filaments, called dendrites(C), extend from the cell surface and make synapses(D) with other neurones. In sensory(E) and motor(F) neurones, one of the filaments is very long and is called a nerve fibre(G).
The Synapse • The junction between two neurons is called a ________________, it forms a physical ______ between the pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neurons • An action potential (__________signal) cannot cross the synaptic gap, so it triggers the release of chemicals (______________) to continue the signal
The Synapse • The junction between two neurons is called a Synapseit forms a physical Gapbetween the pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neurons • An action potential (Electricalsignal) cannot cross the synaptic gap, so it triggers the release of chemicals (Neurotransmitters) to continue the signal
Neurotransmitters Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that transmit signals from a neuron to another cell across a synapse.

Give 3 examples of reflex actions. • change in size of the pupil of the eye in response to light intensity, • blinking in response to foreign particles on the cornea, • coughing or sneezing in response to irritation of the nasal passages and trachea or bronchi, • knee jerk in response to a blow on the tendon of the leg extensor muscle, • rapid removal of the hand from a hot or sharp object (any three)
