12
New cards

what is the external stimuli controlled by

the somatic part of the PNS that leads to conscious feeling

13

A subdivision of the peripheral nervous system. Enables voluntary actions to be undertaken due to its control of skeletal muscles

14
New cards

autonomic nervous system

the part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the glands and the muscles of the internal organs (such as the heart). Its sympathetic division arouses; its parasympathetic division calms.

15
New cards

internal stimuli

22
New cards

axon

23
New cards

myelin sheath

A layer of fatty tissue segmentally encasing the fibers of many neurons; enables vastly greater transmission speed of neural impulses as the impulse hops from one node to the next.

24
New cards

Nodes of Ranvier

a gap in the myelin sheath of a nerve, between adjacent Schwann cells. which allow conduction of electricity

25
New cards

axon terminals

Branches at the end of the axon that contain tiny pouches, or sacs, called synaptic vesicles.

26
New cards

synaptic bouton

A swelling specialized for the release of neurotransmitter that occurs at the end (or along) an axon - pre-synaptic (before the synaptic cleft)

Also known as an axon terminal or terminal boutons

41
New cards

neuroglandular junction

synapse between neuron and gland

42
New cards

How does action potential work?

1. When an axon is not stimulated, its membrane has resting potential.

2. An action potential excites the neuron's membrane. If the excitation reaches the threshold of the axon, some gates/channels open at the start of the axon. Sodium ions, concentrated outside the membrane, rush into the cell, attracted by the negative charge. The influx of positively charged sodium ions is the action potential. As the positive charge enters the axon at one point, it stimulates the next point along the axon, which then starts opening sodium channels and repeats the process.

3. The sodium gates snap shut after being opened for a few milliseconds. The potassium gates remain open. Potassium does not flow as rapidly as sodium, but continues longer. The potassium ions carry a positive charge. Their exit drives the inside of the axon back to resting potential.

4. Eventually, the sodium-potassium pump removes the extra sodium ions and recaptures escaped potassium ions.

neuropraxia

Neuropraxia is the mildest form of traumatic peripheral nerve injury. It is characterized by focal segmental demyelination at the site of injury without disruption of axon continuity and its surrounding connective tissues. This condition results in blockage of nerve conduction and transient weakness or paresthesia.
