Study Notes
Nervensystem - Grundlagen
- Das periphere Nervensystem (PNS) umfasst alle Nerven außerhalb des Gehirns und Rückenmarks.
- Es unterteilt sich in das somatische (willkürliche) und das vegetative (unwillkürliche) Nervensystem.
- Das somatische Nervensystem steuert die willkürliche Bewegung der Skelettmuskulatur.
- Das vegetative Nervensystem reguliert unwillkürliche Funktionen wie Herzschlag, Verdauung und Atmung.
- Es besteht aus zwei Hauptteilen: dem parasympathischen und dem sympathischen Nervensystem.
- Das parasympathische Nervensystem ist für die Ruhe- und Erholungsphase verantwortlich.
- Das sympathische Nervensystem ist für die "Kampf-oder-Flucht"-Reaktion zuständig.
Nervenzellen (Neuronen)
- Neuronen sind die grundlegenden funktionellen Einheiten des Nervensystems.
- Sie bestehen aus einem Zellkörper, Dendriten und einem Axon.
- Dendriten empfangen Signale von anderen Neuronen.
- Das Axon leitet elektrische Signale zu anderen Neuronen, Muskeln oder Drüsen.
- Die Signalsübertragung zwischen Neuronen findet an Synapsen statt.
- An der Synapse wird das elektrische Signal in ein chemisches Signal (Neurotransmitter) umgewandelt.
- Neurotransmitter binden an Rezeptoren an der postsynaptischen Membran.
- Die Synapsen können entweder erregend oder hemmend sein.
- Gliazellen unterstützen die Neuronen in vielerlei Hinsicht und bilden etwa 90% des Gehirns.
Aufbau eines Neurons
- Zellkörper (Soma): Enthalt den Zellkern und wichtige Zellorganellen.
- Dendriten: Verzweigte Fortsätze, die Signale von anderen Neuronen empfangen.
- Axon: Ein langer Fortsatz, der das Signal von einem Neuron zu einem anderen Neuron, Muskel oder Drüse weiterleitet.
- Myelinscheide: Eine fetthaltige Isolierschicht um das Axon, die die Signalübertragung beschleunigt.
- Ranviersche Schnürringe: Unterbrechungen in der Myelinscheide, an denen die Signalübertragung stärker ist.
- Synapse: Die Kontaktstelle zwischen zwei Neuronen oder zwischen einem Neuron und einer Muskel- oder Drüsenzelle.
Nervenfasern
- Nervenfasern sind Ausläufer von Nervenzellen (Neuronen).
- Sie können als Teil eines Nerven gezählt werden.
- Sie transmittieren Signale aus dem Körper zum Gehirn und zurück
- Die Funktion der Nervenfaser ist essentiell für die Kommunikation des Körpers
- Sie können umhüllt mit Myelin sein, was zu schnelleren Impulse führt.
Neurotransmitter
- Neurotransmitter sind chemische Botenstoffe, die die Übertragung von Signalen zwischen Neuronen ermöglichen.
- Es existieren viele verschiedene Typen von Neurotransmittern mit unterschiedlichen Wirkungen.
- Beispiele für wichtige Neurotransmitter sind Acetylcholin, Dopamin, Serotonin und Noradrenalin.
- Rezeptoren im synaptischen Raum binden an Neurotransmitter und können durch diese aktiviert oder gehemmt werden.
Sympathisches und parasympathisches Nervensystem
- Das sympathische Nervensystem bereitet den Körper auf Stress-Situationen vor, z.B. schnelle Herzschlagfrequenz oder vermehrter Adrenalin-Ausstoß.
- Das parasympathische Nervensystem bewirkt im Gegensatz dazu die Ruhe und Erholung; z.B. Verdauung.
- Die beiden Systeme wirken meist antagonistisch, d.h. sie regulieren die gleichen Prozesse, jedoch mit entgegengesetzten Wirkungen.
Peripheres und zentrales Nervensystem
- Das zentrale Nervensystem (ZNS) beinhaltet das Gehirn und das Rückenmark.
- Das periphere Nervensystem (PNS) umfasst alle Nerven außerhalb des ZNS.
- Das PNS kann in somatisches und autonomes Nervensystem eingeteilt werden.
- Das autonome Nervensysteme umfasst sympathisches und parasympathisches Nervensystem
Funktion der Nerven
- Nerven transportieren Informationen (elektrische Impulse) zwischen verschiedenen Körperteilen.
- Die Informationen werden in Form von Aktionspotenzialen als elektrisches Signal übertragen.
- Dieser Prozess ermöglicht die Kommunikation zwischen verschiedenen Körperregionen.
- Dazu gehören z.B. Empfindung, Bewegung und Reflexe.
Nervenformen
- Nervenfasern sind im Allgemeinen Teil eines Nerven
- Der Aufbau und die Funktion der Nerven wird unter verschiedensten Aspekten betrachtet, z.B. Lokalisierung, Durchmesser, Myelinisierung, etc.
- Die Verschaltung von Neuronen ist auch ein wichtiger Aspekt der Nervenfunktion.
- Diese bilden komplexes neuronales Netz.
Nervenzellen-Typen
- Es gibt verschiedene Typen von Nervenzellen (Neuronen) im Körper.
- Diese unterscheiden sich in Größe, Form, Axonlänge, Myelinisierung etc.
- Sie haben je nach Lokalisierung und Funktion unterschiedliche Eigenschaften.
Schmerzempfindung
- Schmerzsignale werden über Nervenfasern an das Gehirn weitergeleitet.
- Diese Signalübertragung und Verarbeitung kann von verschiedenen Faktoren beeinflusst werden.
