Physiology of the Nervous System

Functional Regions of the Neuron Learning Objectives
Physiology of the Nerve Impulse
Conduction Velocity and Myelination • Define and be able to explain the signifi­
Synaptic Transmission cance of the bold italic terms in this
chapter.
Neurotransmitters • Be able to detail the events associated
Neural Control of Skeletal Muscle with action potential generation and
Reflexes Involving Skeletal Muscle propagation. Be able to sketch the action
Contraction potential graphically and explain what
Voluntary Movement events produce each part of the graph.
Physiology of the Autonomic Nervous • Explain the anatomy and role of myeli­
nation in action potential propagation.
System • Describe the anatomy of the synapse,
Regulation of Autonomic Nervous System and explain the events that lead to syn­
Activity aptic transmission.
Autonomic Neurotransmitters and Their • Identify by name the most common
Receptors neurotransmitters; describe where they
Regeneration and Repair in the Nervous are found and what their primary
System effects are.
• Be able to draw and explain the parts of
a typical reflex arc.
• Be able to explain the nature of the myo­
tatic reflex arc and point out how it is
different than most reflexes.
• Explain how a conscious desire to move
travels to muscle.
• Describe the role of the cerebellum in
voluntary movement.
• Describe and be able to illustrate the
visceral motor system and predict the
