Study Notes
Cell Functions of Neurons
- Resting state is a key function of neurons
- Electron microscope images of worm synapses show various structures, including:
- Ventral nerve cord fixed by classical method using osmium and glutaraldehyde
- Ventral nerve cord fixed by high-pressure freezing
- Synapses with different components (e.g., SV, MT, presynaptic density, postsynaptic density-like structures)
Autonomic Nervous System
- The Autonomic Nervous System is a part of the Peripheral nervous system
- It is a subdivision of the efferent division
- It controls involuntary bodily functions, including:
- Cardiac function
- Body temperature
- Smooth muscle function
- Gland function
- Arterial blood pressure
