Lecture Presentations for Biology Texila American University Chapter 3 Nervous Systems Learning Objectives: 1. Compare and contrast the nervous systems of: hydra, sea star, planarian, nematode, clam, squid, and vertebrate. 2. Distinguish between the following pairs of terms: central nervous system, peripheral nervous system; white matter, gray matter; bipolar disorder and major depression. 3. List the types of glia and their functions. 4. Compare the three divisions of the autonomic nervous system. 5. Describe the structures and functions of the following brain regions: medulla oblongata, pons, midbrain, cerebellum, thalamus,

Courteney Higgs Sally Murphy 2B October 20, 2014 Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, referred to as CJD, is a prion-based disease in which severe brain damaging occurs. The disease is known as a transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Spongiform refers to the characteristic appearance of infected brains, which become filled with holes until they resemble sponges under a microscope. Prions are proteins that were not folded properly in the folding process. They replicate by converting properly folded proteins in the host to look like the same misfolded structure that they have. Which means that healthy brain tissue deteriorates into an abnormal protein that the body cannot break down.

Johnny Cedrin Per 4 1/08/10 AP Psychology Outline Chapter 3: The Biological Bases of Behavior Red ? Definition Blue - Important Points Green - Important People & Contributions Nervous System: The Basics Neurons ? Individual cells in the nervous system that receive, integrate, and transmit information. They are basic links that allow communication within the Nervous System. Soma ? Cell Body of the neuron that contains the nucleus and much of cells normal organs. Dendrite ? Parts of a Neuron that receives information. Axon ? Long fiber that transmits information away to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Myelin Sheath ? Insulating Material that encases some Axons. It speeds up to transmission of information.
