E109 Lecture 5: Nervous System III Photo by: Sebastian Kaulitzki Chemical Synaptic Diversity Ionotropic Metabotropic T difference Variation in the Postsynaptic Response Presynaptic axon terminal auseschange in termsof ions Slow synaptic potentials excitatory Rapid, short-acting fast synaptic potential Neurotransmitter and long-term effects inhibitory can alter Chemically G protein–coupled gated ion channel receptor existing channels Mickchange can inhibit membrane Inactive permeability Postsynaptic pathway cell Alters state of Activated second ion channels messenger pathway meta Ion channels close Modifies existing Ion channels open proteins or regulates synthesis of new proteins More More K+ Less K+ Less Na+ in out or out Na+ in Cl– in EPSP = IPSP = EPSP = Coordinated excitatory inhibitory excitatory intracellular depolarization hyperpolarization depolarization response Synaptic Transmission: possibilities for modulation Many neurotoxins target specific parts of a synapse and disrupt synaptic transmission Botulinum toxin (bacteria) : disrupts vesicle docking Bungarotoxin (sea snakes): binds to and blocks nicotinic ACh receptors Calcicludine (green mamba): blocks voltage gated Ca+2 channels Disruption of synaptic transmission is a symptom of many neurological disorders (depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s, etc.) 7 lack or mutations associated with receptors insufficient neurotransmitter release getting a strongenough signaltothe cell Review Synapses are used for communication between a neuron and another cell cardiac cos everywhere Synapses can be electrical or chemical Chemical synapses covert electrical information to chemical information Chemical synapses can affect the post-synaptic cell through ionotropic or metabotropic pathways Synaptic transmission can be altered by neurotoxins or pharmacological agents Lecture 5 Learning Objectives Learn that the hypothalamus serves a critical function in maintaining homeostasis Understand that spinal reflexes are fast, involuntary actions without direct integration by brain Observe that homeostatic reflexes are slower often involve the autonomic nervous system Learn that the autonomic nervous system has two branches (parasympathetic and sympathetic) Understand that within the CNS, control of the two branches of are spatially segregated Observe that the two branches of the ANS affect the same target cells but interact with different cellular receptors Organization of the Nervous System CNS Architecture Cranium Cerebral hemispheres Cerebellum Cervical spinal nerves Thoracic

reflex are fast involuntary actions without direct integration by brain Homeostatic reflexes are slower often involve the autonomic nervous system The autonomic nervous system has two branches (parasympathetic and sympathetic) Within the CNS control of the two branches of are spatially segregated The two branches of the ANS affect the same target cells but produce antagonistic effects by interacting with different receptors on the same cell E109 lecture 6: Intro to skeletal muscles Three Types of Muscle Skeletal Cardiac Smooth Attached to Skeleton Heart Internal organs/vessels
