    About this ebook

    A quick review of the human Nervous System including structure, functions, types, definitions, terms, core concepts and questions included. Alpha Dog’s Stolen notes provide a great opportunity to quickly prepare for class ahead of time, learn more during lecture, and improve your grade.

    The notes also provide questions to guide and check learning along the way.

If you can’t save study time, energy, and get your money’s worth from the professor's notes then it is time to switch majors.

    Additional links to videos and resources are provided, the same ones the professor uses in his classroom.

    Topics include nervous tissue, sensory nerves, motor control, somatic, autonomic, nerve cells, neuron structure, presynaptic, postsynaptic, neurotransmitters, resting membrane potential, action potential, all or none response, reflexes, brain, CNS, PNS, and more.

    Carson Robertson DC

    Dr. Carson Robertson is a native of central Montana and obtained his bachelor's degree at the University of Montana. He subsequently earned his chiropractic degree from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Minnesota in 2004. While an athlete in school, he saw the benefits of chiropractic after an injury sidelined him. With that in mind, his clinic has a special emphasis and expertise in athletic injuries.Dr. Robertson has also been an adjunct faculty member at Paradise Valley Community College since 2009, where he teaches Anatomy and Physiology classes. Education, information, articles, multimedia teaching materials and videos bridge the PVCC classroom and the clinic. His lovable and demanding Pug helped improve the Anatomy and Physiology curriculum, leading to the Alpha Dog Education Series.When the doctor is not working he can often be found running the trails of South Mountain. He has run multiple marathons and ultra marathons, including the Crown King Scramble 50K, Javelina 100K and Javelina 100 Miler.

      Nervous System - Carson Robertson DC

      Nervous System - Quick Review Notes Chapter 8

      The central and peripheral nervous system provide sensory, integrative, and motor control throughout the body.

      Central nervous system -CNS– brain and spinal cord.

      Peripheral nervous system - PNS – bundles of nerves that connect the central nervous system to cells outside the spinal cord.

      Neurons – nerve cells. Neurons transmit information in the form of neurochemical changes called nerve impulses. Nerve impulses allow neurons to communicate with other neurons along with cells outside the nervous system.

      Typical structure of a neuron

      Body – rounded area of the neuron which contains the nucleus, and can have dendrites and axons extending from the body.

      Dendrites – numerous extensions that receive electrochemical messages.

      Axons – extensions that send information from the body. Usually a neuron has only one axon.

      Neuroglia – nerve helper cells.

      Neuroglia provide physical support, insulation, and nutrients for neurons. Neurons have become very specialized and have lost many of the functions of typical cells, and rely on neuroglia for these functions and maintaining neuron health.

      Sensory Nerves

      Sensory receptors take information from the body and bring it through peripheral neurons to the spinal cord. Sensory receptors monitor changes in the external environmental factors such as light and sound. It also monitors the body's internal environment such as temperature, oxygen levels, pH, and blood chemical levels.

      Receptors take the sensory information and send it through nerve impulses to the central nervous system. The central nervous system integrates information to make decisions and appropriate responses. The brain and spinal cord respond to stimulus

      by a variety of mechanisms including motor functions to act appropriately to the changing stimulus.

      Motor Control

      Peripheral nerves carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the effector muscles. Motor functions can be broken into two categories

      1. Those that are under conscious or voluntary control such as the somatic nervous system. The somatic nervous system controls skeletal muscle. You can consciously think
