NERVOUS

SYSTEM
BY GUNGUN AND JASOOR
Introduction
Nervous system is an organ system which consists of highly specialized cells
called neurons. These neurons form a network throughout the body and
conduct information via electrical impulses so as to coordinate and control
activities of different parts of the body
A neuron or nerve cell is
the structural and
functional unit of the
nervous system. It is
formed from neuroblast
A neuron consists of:
(i)Cell body
(ii) Dendrites
(iii)Axon
 TYPES OF NEURONS
SENSORY
The sensory neurons transmit
impulse from the sense organs
towards the central nervous
system
MOTOR
They transmit impulses from
the central nervous system
towards the effectors
INTER
They occur in the central
nervous system and serve as
links between sensory and
motor neurons
 CONDUCTION OF
NERVE IMUSLE
The information is acquired at the dendritic end of neuron
The in formation sets off a chemical reaction that creates
an electric impulse which travels from dendrite to the cell
body and then along the axon to its end. The electric
impulse is generated and conducted due to the action of
different types of ion channels present on the plasma
membrane of neurons

 REFLEX ACTION

The simplest form of response in the nervous system is

reflex action. This is a rapid automatic response to a
stimulus which is not under the voluntary control of the
brain, it is described as an involuntary action
Path followed by an impulse in a reflex arc is called reflex
arc
