6 Types of Neurons 1. Motor Neurons 2. Sensory Neurons 3. Interneurons 176

7 Motor (Efferent) Neurons take information from the CNS to effectors (muscles or glands). Characterized by short dendrites, a central cell body and fairly long axons. Axons are often covered with a myelin sheath to carry impulse faster and to protect the long nerve fiber. 177

8 Sensory (Afferent) Neurons take information from sensory receptors to the CNS. Characterized by longer dendrite fiber, shorter axon fiber and a peripheral cell body. Both axon and dendrite fibers may be myelinated. 178

9 Interneurons (Connector/Association) occur within the CNS and integrate input. Characterized by short dendrites as well as short axon. Central cell body, but very seldom shows myelination along nerve fibers. They are found within brain and spine and act like Head Coordinator (Prewired Circuit Board) to receive and relay incoming impulses to the appropriate pathways. 179

10 Types of neurons All Three Work Together 1710

11 Myelin Sheath Long axons are covered by a protective myelin sheath formed by neuroglial cells called Schwann cells. The sheath contains lipid myelin which gives nerve fibers their white, glistening appearance. The sheath is interrupted by gaps called nodes of Ranvier. 1711

12 Myelin sheath SCHWANN Cells are a type of NEUROGLIAL cell. Myelination serves two purposes, it protects long fragile nerve fibers and it also speeds up a nerve impulse. It speeds up impulse by allowing action potential of nerve impulse to skip from node to node. 1712

13 Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the myelin sheath. 1713

14 1714

15 1. Give two separate names for the type of neuron shown here. A C B H G Name for branched endings D F Name for gaps in myelin sheath E Name of Cells that form Myelin 1715 Sheath

16 Reflex Arc Reflexive Actions are automatic responses to environmental stimuli Pain receptor detects stimulus that surpasses threshold>initiates impulse>travels along dendrite of sensory neuron>onto axon of sensory neuron>dendrite of interneuron>cell body of interneuron>interneuron axon> motor neuron>effector

17 Brain is not involved with reflexive actions; it is an advantage because reflexive actions are protective mechanisms Other interneurons conduct impulses to the brain to alert the mind that a reflexive action has taken place
