Main Ideas and Concepts

This video provides a comprehensive review of the cellular basis of the nerve impulse (neural message) targeted at first-year secondary school students studying experimental sciences. It covers the nervous system's structure, nerve cells (neurons), nerve fibers, Spinal cord anatomy, nerve impulses, and reflex arcs, including detailed explanations of resting and action potentials, supported by schematic drawings and experimental evidence.

Detailed Outline of Content and Methodologies

1. Hierarchy of Biological Organization

Organism → Systems → Organs → Tissues → Cells → Organelles → Molecules → Atoms
Focus on the nervous system, which includes:
- Central nervous system (CNS): brain (cerebrum, cerebellum) and Spinal cord.
- Peripheral nervous system (PNS): cranial nerves (12 pairs) and spinal nerves (31 pairs).

2. Nervous System Overview

CNS controls voluntary movements and conscious sensations.
PNS connects CNS to muscles and organs.
Nervous system composed of organs (brain, Spinal cord), tissues, and cells (neurons).

3. Structure of the Nerve Cell (Neuron)

Components:
- Cell body (soma): contains nucleus and cytoplasm.
- Dendritic extensions: short, tree-like projections from the cell body.
- Axon (cylindrical axis): long extension transmitting nerve impulses.
- Myelin sheath: fatty insulating layer around the axon.
- Schwann sheath: cellular layer containing Schwann cell nuclei.
- Ranvier nodes (constrictions): gaps in the Myelin sheath.
- Terminal branches: axon endings that connect to other cells.
A nerve fiber consists of the axon plus myelin and Schwann sheaths.

4. Types of Neurons

Multipolar neurons: many extensions from cell body (e.g., astrocytes in Spinal cord, pyramidal cells in brain).
Bipolar neurons: two extensions (found in retina).
Unipolar neurons: one extension (found in spinal ganglia).
Multipolar neurons are the most common.

5. Structure of Nerve Fibers

Longitudinal section: axon with Myelin sheath and Schwann sheath.
Cross section: concentric circles of axon, Myelin sheath, and Schwann sheath.
Two types:
- Myelinated (denervated) fibers: with Myelin sheath, conduct impulses quickly by saltatory conduction.
- Unmyelinated (undenervated) fibers: lack Myelin sheath, conduct impulses slowly.

6. Spinal cord Anatomy

Located inside vertebral column.
Composed of:
- Central gray matter (H-shaped), containing cell bodies.
- Peripheral white matter, containing myelinated nerve fibers.
Spinal nerves exit Spinal cord via:
- Anterior (ventral) root: motor fibers.
- Posterior (dorsal) root: sensory fibers.
Posterior root has a spinal ganglion (contains sensory Neuron cell bodies).
Reflex arc involves sensory input via posterior root and motor output via anterior root.

7. Experiments on Amoeba and Nerve Fiber Regeneration

Amoeba nucleus essential for regeneration.
Nerve fibers regenerate only if connected to the cell body (nucleus).
Cut nerve fibers die if disconnected from the nucleus.

8. Nerve Structure

Nerves are bundles of nerve fibers (each fiber is an axon plus sheaths).
Bundles are held together by connective tissue.
Blood vessels nourish the nerve.

9. Reflex arc

Involuntary response to stimuli.
Components:
- Sensory receptor → sensory nerve fiber → Spinal cord (nervous center) → motor nerve fiber → effector organ.
Sensory fibers enter Spinal cord via posterior root; motor fibers exit via anterior root.

10. Nerve Impulse (Nerve Message) and Electrical Properties

Resting potential:
- Measured at about -70 millivolts (mV).
- Surface of nerve fiber membrane is positive; inside is negative → membrane is polarized.
- Measured using a cathode oscilloscope with electrodes inside and outside the fiber.
Action potential:
- Triggered by adequate stimulus.
- Sudden reversal of membrane polarization: inside becomes positive, outside negative (depolarization).
- Followed by repolarization (return to resting state).
- Temporary and quickly returns to resting.
