neurons (nerve cells) and neuroglial cell.

? Nervous tissue has property of irritability and

conductivity.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? Nerve cells are capable of receiving information from

external and internal environment.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? About 10 million neurons in human beings.
? Size of neuron 10 um to 120 um
? Neurons do not divide after birth, so their number

does not increases during lifetime.

COMPOSITION OF NERVOUS TISSUE

1)Neuron (nerve cell)--Structural and functional units

of nervous system.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

2)Nerve cell processes--Many radiating processes

called dendrite and a single process called axon.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

3)Neuroglia--Supporting function for neurons and

their processes.
? NEURON--
? Functional cell of nervous tissue.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Consists of
Nerve Cell body -- Expanded portion.

Nerve cell processes-- Dendrite and axon,

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

emerges from cell body.
? Nerve cell body--
? Contains:--
? Nucleus--large, spherical and centrally located.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Nissl bodies--large aggregations of rough

endoplasmic reticulum.

? Melanin pigments--dark brown granules in

substantia nigra.

? Nerve cell processes--

? Elongated cytoplasmic processes originate from

the cell body

? Two types ? Axon (single)
- Dendrite (multiple)
? Nerve fibre term used for nerve cell process

(axon or dendrites).
? Dendrites--
? Multiple, short, branched and tapering processes

of nerve cell.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? Receive information from other cells (input

portion of neuron).

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? Cytoplasm contains--Nissl bodies, microtubules,

microfilament and other organells.
? Axon--
? Single, long, cylindrical process of nerve cell.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? Send information away from nerve cell body to

another cell.

? Axon hillock-- Conical origin of axon from cell body

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? Axon terminals are known as end bulbs (terminal

boutons).

? Axolemma--Plasma membrane of axon

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? Axoplasm-- Cytoplasm of axon.
? Nissl bodies is absent in axon.

CLASSIFICATION OF NEURONS

? BASED ON SHAPE OF CELL BODY & NUMBER OF CELL PROCESSES

? UNIPOLAR NEURONS--

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Only one process (usually dendrite) extending from

cell body.

? Mesencephalic nucleus of trigeminal nerve.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? PSEUDOUNIPOLAR NEURON--
? Has one process that divide into axon and dendrite.
? Dorsal root ganglion and cranial nerve ganglion.
? BIPOLAR NEURONS--

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? Has two processes(an axon and dendrite).
? Present in Retina.

? MULTIPOLAR NEURONS--
? Has many processes (an axon and many dendrite).

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? These are most common type of neurons
? Depending upon shape of cell bodies they are called

stellate (star shaped), purkinje (flask shaped) or

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

pyramidal (triangular).

? Present in spinal cord, cerebrum & cerebellum.

? CLASSIFICATION BASED ON FUNCTION

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

? SENSORY (AFFERENT)--
? Receives stimuli from receptor and conduct impulse

to CNS.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? MOTOR (EFFERENT)--
? Conduct impulse from CNS to effector organs.

? INTERNEURON--

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? Located only in CNS .
? Small size, interconnect other neuron.
Synapses

? A junction that mediates information transfer

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

from one neuron:

? To another neuron
? To an effector cell

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? Presynaptic neuron ? conducts impulses

toward the synapse

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Postsynaptic neuron ? transmits impulses

away from the synapse

MYELIN SHEATH

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

? Myelin is an insulating sheath surrounding axons

of central and peripheral nervous system.

? CNS-- Oligodendrocytes cells

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? PNS-- Schwann cells
? Between adjacent segment of myelin along each

axon, a gap occurs where axon is not covered by

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

myelin.

? These gaps are called are called nodes of Ranvier.
? Myelin sheath increases the velocity of

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

conduction of impulse.

? It provides insulating sheath surrounding fibres.
