Summary Introduction

To label: The system involved in reflex action and also to list the points that take part in conduction of nerve signals during the process.

Concept introduction: A collection of nerves, the brain, and the spinal cord that together help in regulation of signals from one part of the body to another is called the nervous system. The primary unit of the nervous system is a specialized cell that is termed as a neuron.

Answer to Problem 1CC

Pictorial representation: Fig.1 shows the systems involved in transmission of signal and response generated by the brain.

Explanation of Solution

(a)

Correct answer: Sensory receptor.

Sensory receptors are present on dendrites to neurons that are specialized in receiving signals from the environment. The receptor that receives a signal from the external environment is termed as external sensory receptor, whereas the receptor that receives a stimulus from the internal environment is termed as an internal sensory receptor. Hence, the correct answer is a sensory receptor.

(b)

Correct answer: Sensory neuron.

Sensory neurons are the neurons that specialize in transferring the stimulus from the sensory receptor to the brain or spinal cord. The movement of stimulus through the sensory neurons is termed as sensory induction. Hence, the correct answer is a sensory neuron.

(c)

Correct answer: Synapse.

Synapse is the site where the signal passes to the next neuron or to the effector cell with the help of an electrical or a chemical signal (neurotransmitter). Hence, the correct answer is synapse.

(d)

Correct answer: Spinal cord.

The spinal cord is a part of the central nervous system. Transmission of a nerve signal from the sensory neuron to the brain for further processing is done with the help of the spinal cord and the neurons that are present in it. Hence, the correct answer is spinal cord.

(e)

Correct answer: Interneuron

Interneuron is a part of the central nervous system that helps in conveying the signals between sensory neuron and motor neuron. Interneuron is found in the spinal cord. Hence, the correct answer is an interneuron.

(f)

Correct answer: Motor neuron.

Motor neuron conducts the movement of signals from the brain and spinal cord to the cell where the response is needed. Cell body of a motor neuron is located in the spinal cord and the axon part of the cell is located toward muscle or gland where action is needed. Hence, the correct answer is a motor neuron.

(g)

Correct answer: Effector cell.

Effector cell is present in the glands and muscles.  It receives the signal from the motor neuron and generates a physiological response in the body part. Hence, the correct answer is an effector cell.

(h)

Correct answer: Central nervous system.

The central nervous system (CNS) is responsible for actions that the body takes in response to an external stimulus. It receives the signal from the receptors, processes the reflex by the CNS, and transmits a signal to the effector cell. The central nervous system consists of two main parts: the spinal cord and the brain. Hence, the correct answer is the central nervous system.

(i)

Correct answer: Peripheral nervous system.

The peripheral nervous system consists of nerves and their neurons. It includes receptor cell, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, and effector cell. PNS connects the body to CNS. Hence, the correct answer is the peripheral nervous system.

Neuroscience Question: Which of the following statements ACCURATELY describe spinal cord organization. α-motor neurons are organized from lateral to media such that those found towards the medial section of the spinal cord controls the distal muscles. Lumbar spinal cord enlargement is observed where neurons that innervate the legs and feet are located Neuronal cell bodies (somas) of neurons that innervate single muscles are only found in a single spinal cord segment. Muscles of the trunk are represented medially while muscles of arms and hands are represented laterally Group of answer choices 1, 2, 4 2, 3, 4 2, 4 4 only 1,2,3,4   Here is my reasoning: Please you be the judge if this is correct! α-motor neurons are organized from lateral to medial such that those found towards the medial section of the spinal cord control the distal muscles. This is inaccurate. α-motor neurons are organized from medial to lateral in the spinal cord, with those medially controlling axial…
1. Make a model or draw 3 multipolar neurons. Imagine you had something crawling on your arm. The first is a sensory neuron, getting its information from the skin and sensing the movement.  The second is an interneuron. It relays information from the first (sensory neuron) to the CNS.  The third is a motor neuron. It begins in the CNS but leads all the way to the muscle, so that you can move the fingers and scratch the area. On your images/model the "dendrites" should be blue, "axon" should be green and "soma" should be yellow. As you connect them to each other, take notice in which areas are the receiving end, and which are the transmissive ends.

  • Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/neuroexam2) for an introduction to the neurological exam. Studying the neurological exam can give insight into how structure and function in the nervous system are interdependent. This is a tool both in the clinic and in the classroom, but for different reasons. In the clinic, this is a powerful but simple tool to assess a patient’s neurological function. In the classroom, it is a different way to think about the nervous system. Though medical technology provides noninvasive imaging and real-time functional data, the presenter says these cannot replace the history at the core of the medical examination. What does history mean in the context of medical practice?
    Visit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/troublewstairs) to read about a woman that notices that her daughter is having trouble walking up the stairs. This leads to the discovery of a hereditary condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. The electromyography and MRI tests indicated deficiencies in the spinal cord and cerebellum, both of which are responsible for controlling coordinated movements. To what functional division of the nervous system would these structures belong?
    Visit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/neurolab) to see a virtual neurophysiology lab, and to observe electrophysiological processes in the nervous system, where scientists directly measure the electrical signals produced by neurons. Often, the action potentials occur so rapidly that watching a screen to see them occur is not helpful. A speaker is powered by the signals recorded from a neuron and it pops each time the neuron fires an action potential. These action potentials are firing so fast that it sounds like static on the radio. Electrophysiologists can recognize the patterns within that static to understand what is happening. Why is the leech model used for measuring the electrical activity of neurons instead of using humans?
