Act as K+ and NT buffers
Involved in the formation of the blood

Function in nutrient transfer
Neuroglia
2. Microglia
Specialized immune cells that act as
the macrophages of the CNS
3. Ependymal Cells
Low columnar epithelial-esque cells
that line the ventricles of the brain
and the central canal of the spinal
cord
Some are ciliated which facilitates
the movement of cerebrospinal fluid
Neuroglia
4. Oligodendrocytes
Produce the myelin
sheath which
provides the
electrical insulation
for certain neurons
in the CNS
Neuroglia in PNS
Acetylcholine
binds to its receptor proteins in the postsynaptic
membrane and thereby causes ion channels within
the proteins to open
produces an excitatory postsynaptic potential
(EPSP)
acetycholine eliminated from the synaptic
cleft by acetylcholinesterase
Glutamate, glycine, and GABA
Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the
vertebrate CNS.
Glycine and GABA are inhibitory neurotransmitters.
produces inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP)
Neurotransmitter yang bersifat eksitasi adalah
acetylcholine, norepinephrine, dopamine,
glutamate dan histamine.
Sedangkan neurotransmitter yang umumnya
menginhibisi adalah
- gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) pada
jaringan otak
- glycine pada medula spinalis. Serotonin
menghambat dan mengontrol tidur, lapar dan
mempengaruhi kesadaran.
Neurotransmitters and Their
Functions
Neurotransmitters and drug addiction
If receptor proteins within synapses are
exposed to high levels of neurotransmitter
molecules for prolonged periods, that nerve cell
often responds by inserting fewer receptor
proteins into the membrane.
may lose ability to respond to stimulus - habituation

Cerebellum
The cerebellum functions in the coordination
of skeletal muscle contractions and in the
maintenance of normal muscle tone,
posture, and balance.
It compares motor output of the primary motor
area to sensory data from body (proprioceptors,
vision, cochlea, etc.)
Diencephalon
Occipital is optical
Temporal contains areas for
hearing, emotional behavior,
learning, memory, smell
Cerebral Lateralization
Left hemisphere is categorical hemisphere
specialized for spoken & written language, math &
science
Right hemisphere is representational hemisphere
perceives information more holistically, music and
artistic skill
Highly correlated with handedness
91% of people right-handed with left side is categorical
Lateralization develops with age
trauma more problems in males since females have
more communication between hemisphere (corpus
callosum is thicker posteriorly)
Peripheral Nervous System
Responsible for communication btwn the CNS and
the rest of the body.
Can be divided into:
Sensory Division
Afferent division
Conducts impulses from receptors to the CNS
Informs the CNS of the state of the body interior and exterior
Sensory nerve fibers can be somatic (from skin, skeletal muscles or
joints) or visceral (from organs w/i the ventral body cavity)
Motor Division
Efferent division
Conducts impulses from CNS to effectors (muscles/glands)
Motor nerve fibers

CVAs
(Brain heart attack)
1. CVAs (Cerebral Vascular Accidents) are classified
into two principal types:
a. ischemic (the most common type), due to a decreased blood
supply, or
b. hemorrhagic, due to a blood vessel in the brain that bursts.
2. Common causes of CVAs are;
a. intracerebral hemorrhage,
b. emboli, and
c. atherosclerosis.
3. CVAs are characterized by abrupt onset of persisting
neurological symptoms that arise from destruction of
brain tissue (infarction).
Headache
Causes: Vertebral subluxation and:
Brain tumors, blood vessel abnormalities,
inflammation of the brain or meninges, decrease in
oxygen supply to the brain, damage to brain cells,
and infections of the eyes, ears, nose, or sinuses,
Tension headaches are associated with stress,
fatigue, and anxiety and usually occur in the
occipital and temporal muscles
Migraine headaches sometimes respond to drugs
that constrict the blood vessels
Brain tumor
Any benign or malignant growth within the
cranium.
Symptoms from the increased intracranial
pressure from the growing tumor or accompanying
edema, and can include;
headaches, altered consciousness, vomiting, seizures,
visual problems, cranial nerve abnormalities,
hormonal syndromes,
personality changes, dementia, and sensory or motor
deficits.
Cerebral palsy (CP)
Refers to a group of motor disorders resulting
in muscular in coordination and loss of muscle
control.
Caused by damage to the motor areas of the brain
during fetal life, birth, or infancy.
This damage may result from;
a. German measles infection of the mother during the first
trimester,
b. radiation during gestation,
c. temporary lack of oxygen during birth, or
d. hydrocephalus during infancy.
Dyslexia
Impairment of the brain's ability to
translate images received from the eyes
into understandable language.
Reads IUD as DUI
Causes seem related to lack of proper development
i.e. crawling
Treatment: cross crawl exercise
Cerebellar Impairment
ATAXIA: uncoordinated and jerky
movements, slurred speech
INTENTION TREMOR- shaking during
voluntary movement
TEST: Finger to nose, finger to finger, tandem

Parkinson’s Disease
A progressive disorder of the CNS (usually in
individuals over 60 years of age, but can
occur in younger patients).
Parkinson’s is thought to result from too little
dopamine being produced.
Symptoms include muscle tremors, muscle
rigidity, and slow, difficult movements. Walking
and speech are often affected.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
A progressive destruction of the myelin
sheaths of the nerves of the CNS. This causes
“short circuits” in nerve transmissions.
There is no known cause or treatment.
MS most commonly strikes young women in
their 20’s, but can affect men as well.
Progressive loss of muscle function is the
main symptom.
