Bipolar Neurons Two processes off of the cell body, rare only found in special senses (smell, taste, vision, balance, hearing), short in length, least common type of neuron, NOT myelinated
Multipolar Neurons Multiple processes off of the cell body, most common, vary in length, motor neurons, controls muscles and glands
Sensory (Afferent) Detect stimuli (light, heat, pressure); transmit information about the stimulus to the CNS; almost all sensory neurons are unipolar
Motor (Efferent) Sends signals away from the CNS to muscles, glands and other organ structures; all motor neurons are multipolar
Interneurons Found in between motor and sensory neurons; most of our neurons in our body are interneurons
Electricity and Membrane Potentials See next slides
Resting Membrane Potential (RMP) RMP is approximately -70mv
Depolarization Process of making the resting membrane potential LESS negative; Na+ enters
Repolarization Process of making the internal charge of the neuron MORE negative; K+ exits
Motor Activities Controlled by the anterior portions of the spinal cord
Sensory Activities Controlled by the posterior portions of the spinal cord
Meninges Connective tissues that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord; Dura Mater, Arachnoid Mater, and Pia Mater
Subdural Space Potential space between the Dura Mater and the Arachnoid Mater around both the brain and spinal cord
Epidural Space Vertebral canal only in normal conditions
Arachnoid Space The layer of connective tissue deep to the Dura Mater layer
Subarachnoid Space The space between the Arachnoid Mater and the Pia Mater; contains CSF

Anatomy of the Brain Cerebrum, Diencephalon, Brainstem (Hindbrain) and Cerebellum
Cerebrum Largest and most highly developed region of the brain; all conscious activities of the brain occur in the cerebrum; separated into left and right hemisphere by the Corpus Callosum; each hemisphere has four lobes: Front, Parietal, Temporal and Occipital
Right vs. Left Brain Left: School Brain - used for numerical and scientific skills, spoken and written language, lists, prioritization, memorization; Right: Artistic Brain - used more for musical and artistic skills, special senses, emotions, intuition and creativity
Contralateralization Activities performed by the right side of the body are controlled by the left side and vice versa; typically occurs in the Medulla Oblongata
Ipsilateral Function Area is being controlled on the same side of the body
Pre-Central Gyrus Primary Motor Cortex
Post-Central Gyrus Primary Somatosensory Cortex
Broca's Area Plans and produces speech; special motor speech area; located in the frontal lobe on left side
Wernicke's Area Allows us to understand (comprehend) written and spoken language; locate in the temporal lobe on the left side
Diencephalon Area of the brain that is internal and near the middle of the brain tissue. Includes the Thalamus, Hypothalamus, and Epithalmaus
Thalamus Relay station, gateway to cerebral cortex
Hypothalamus Controls endocrine activity and is the "Homeostasis Center". Also controls the ANS, hunger, thirst, body temperature, and initiates physical response to emotion
Epithalamus Contains the Pineal Gland that secretes Melatonin (sleep/wake cycle)
The Brainstem (Hindbrain) Consists of the Midbrain, Pons, and Medulla Oblongata
Midbrain Houses the visual reflex center (Superior Colliculi) and acoustic reflex center (Inferior Colliculi)
Pons Connects the Cerebrum and Cerebellum
Medulla Oblongata Cross over for contralateralization, respiratory and cardiovascular centers, hiccups, sneezes, vomiting, coughing and swallowing
Cerebellum Regulates posture and balance; Vermis connects the right and left of the Cerebellum; Arbor Vitae; white matter of the Cerebellum
Amygdala Response system for anger, fear and aggression. Also plays a role in memory
Reticular Formation Maintains consciousness and wakefulness
