    Although each of the

    Homeostasis
    Homeostasis is the
    condition wherein the REMEMBER

    HOW DOES
    MESSAGE
    CARRY IN
    NERVOUS
    SYSTEM?
    Messages carried by nervous
    system are electrical signals
    called impulses.

    \
    Cells that transmit these impulses are
    called neurons
    3 types of neurons

    1.Sensory
    2.Motor
    3.Interneurons

    NEURONS (basic units of nervous system)


    NEURONS
    Sensory: Carry impulses
    from sense organs (eyes, ears,
    etc) to the spinal cord and
    brain

    Motor: carry impulses from


    the brain and spinal cord.

    Interneurons: connect
    sensory and motor neurons and
    carry impulses between them.

    ENGAGEMENT
    •The chemical messengers that your
    body can't function without. Their
    job is to carry chemical signals
    (“messages”) from one neuron
    (nerve cell) to the next target cell.

    Neurotransmitters
    •The chemical secreted into the
    gap between neurons at a
    synapse.

    Neurotransmitters
    • Acetylcholine- slows heart rate; PNS
    • Glutamate- most prevalent neurotransmitter in
    the brain
    • Aspartate- in CNS
    • Norepinephrine- awakening from deep sleep
    • Epinephrine- increase heart rate
    • Dopamine- movement of skeletal muscles

    Neurotransmitters
    • Seratonin- sensory perception, temp regulation,
    mood, sleep
    • Nitric oxide- may play a role in memory and
    learning
    • Enkephalin- inhibit pain impulses by suppressing
    release of substance P
    • Substance P- enhances perception of pain
