Document Summary
Lecture 23 the nervous system: neurons and membrane potential. The various animation links within these notes are important. Web link with many resources, including web tutorials (not all may be relevant to this course) http://wps. prenhall. com/esm_goodenough_boh_2/24/6206/1588888. cw/index. html. Also check other study materials in this link. Other material may be posted in the future. Composed of nerve cells called neurons: excitable cells that form communication lines in nervous system. Also consists of neuroglia: a variety of cells that protect & support neurons structurally & metabolically. Central nervous system (cns: brain & spinal cord. Three functions of nervous tissue: sensory input, integration of data, motor output. Sensory neurons conduct impulses from sensory receptors to spinal cord & brain. Motor neurons conduct impulses away from brain & spinal cord to muscles & glands. Interneurons form connections between other neurons receive & process sensory input and send signals to other neurons in brain and spinal cord.
