Nervous System Anatomy: Central & Peripheral Nerves, Neurons, and Autonomic System, Slides of Anatomy

An overview of the nervous system, focusing on the central nervous system (cns) and peripheral nervous system (pns). Topics include the functions of cns and pns, neuron types, and the autonomic nervous system. Learn about the role of somatic and visceral nerves, sensory and motor neurons, and the differences between parasympathetic and sympathetic innervation.

NERVOUS SYSTEM I

CNS (Central Nervous System) Segmentation PNS (Peripheral Nervous System) Spinal Nerves Neuron Types Autonomic Nervous System (how many nervous systems are there anyways?)

Central Nervous System (CNS)

Brain and Spinal Cord “Command Central” PNS (Peripheral Nervous System) are nerves that go out to targets in body

Counting Body Segments

(vertebrae versus nerves)

Why are there seven cervical vertebrae but eight cervical nerves?

Dermatomes Each is sensory area of one spinal nerve

Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

All nerves that leave the CNS

Two Modalities:

Somatic Visceral/Autonomic Sensory/Afferent (info. In) Motor/Efferent (commands out) Somatic Visceral/Autonomic --smooth mm. --heart --glands (hint: SAME) ParasympatheticSympathetic

“Targets”

All have dual sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation (more in N.S.II)
