Slide Shows for Anatomy & Physiology: Nervous System

Teachers: Student fill in notes to accompany each slide show are available in Google Doc format in my TpT store ​

Module 5 Nervous System & Nervous Tissue

Slide Show #1 Fundamentals of the Nervous System & Nervous Tissue

This slide show covers:
  • Functions of Nervous System
  • ​Response to stimuli
  • Divisions of the Nervous System (CNS/PNS)
  • Divisions of the PNS (Afferent/Efferent)
  • Efferent Division of the Nervous System (Somatic/Autonomic)
  • Autonomic Nervous System (Sympathetic/Parasympathetic)
  • Afferent Division of the Nervous System
  • Nerves (wrappings, classification)
  • Types of cells in nervous tissue (conducting and non-conducting)
  • Neuroglial cells in the CNS (astrocytes, microglial cells, ependymal cells, oligodendrocytes)
  • Neuroglial cells in the PNS (Schwann cells, satellite cells)
  • Neurons (processes, structures, myelin)
  • Classification of neurons by structure (multipolar, bipolar, unipolar)
  • Classification of neurons by function (sensory, interneuron, motor)

Slide Show #2 Conduction of the Impulse (Action Potential)

This slide show covers:
  • Resting membrane potential​
  • Voltage gated channels 
  • Behavior of voltage gated channels in action potential 
  • What is an action potential?
  • Which way to ions move during action potentials?
  • All or none principle
  • Refractory period
  • Steps in the transmission of a nerve impulse (action potential)
  • Myelinated vs. unmyelinated impulse conduction
  • Saltatory conduction

Slide Show #3 The Synapse

This slide show covers:

  • Basics of a synapse
  • Parts of a synapse (presynaptic & postsynaptic neurons, synaptic cleft)
  • Electrical and chemical communication
  • Synaptic transmission
  • Neurotransmitters
  • What causes the release of neurotransmitters at a synapse?
  • Actions at the synapse
  • Disorders associated with neurotransmitter imbalances
  • Opiates in the human body

Slide Show #4 The Spinal Cord

This slide show covers:
  • Description of the spinal cord
  • Grey matter vs. white matter
  • Characteristics of the spinal cord
  • Protection for the spinal cord
  • Meninges (pia, arachnoid, & dura mater)
  • Spinal tap
  • Spinal cord injuries & effects

Slide Show #5 The Brain

This slide show covers:

  • Brain anatomy (hemispheres, lobes, sulci, cerebral cortex)
  • Major regions of the brain (brain stem, diencephalon, cerebrum, cerebellum)
  • Brain stem (location, function, areas)
  • Diencephalon  (location, function, areas)
  • Cerebrum  (location, function, areas)
  • Cerebellum  (location, function, areas)
  • Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
