    Three principle functions:
    - SENSORY INPUT (nervous system senses the spider on your leg)
    - INTEGRATION (your nervous system processes the input, and decides what should be done about it)
    - MOTOR INPUT (your hand shakes off the spider, it's a response that occurs when your nervous system activates certain parts of your body)
    NERVOUS SYSTEM DIVISION
    --- CENTRAL nervous system - CNS
    - brain
    - spine cord
    --- PERIPHERAL nervous system - PNS
    - around your body
    - SENSORY DIVISION (afferent) - picks up a sensory stimuli
    - MOTOR DIVISION (efferent) - sends directions from your brain to muscles and glands
    - SOMATIC nervous system - voluntary (skeletal movement)
    - AUTONOMIC nervous system - involuntary (heart, stomach, lungs)
    - SYMPATHETIC - sends the body into action
    - PARASYMPATHETIC - relaxes the body
    - Neurons (small part of your nervous tissue)
    - Glial cells (50% of mass of your brain)
    - provide support, nutrition, insulation, and help with signal transmission in the nervous system
    - GLIAL CELL TYPES
    - CNS
    - ASTROCYSTES - support, regulate ions, exchange materials between neurons and capillary
    - MICROGLIAL CELLS - defense against invading microorganisms
    - EPENDYMAL CELLS - create, secrete and circulate cerebrospinal fluid
    - OLIGODENDROCYTES - wrap and insulate, form myelin sheath
    - PNS
    - SATELLITE CELLS - surround neuron cell bodies
    - SCHWANN CELLS - insulate, help form myelin sheath
    1. Neurons are some of the longest-lived cells in your body.
    2. Neurons are irreplaceable. Most are AMITOCIT - when they get assigned a role, they can't divide anymore.
    3. Neurons have huge appetites. They need a lot of oxygen and glucose. About 25% of daily calories are consumed by your brain
    NEURON STRUCTURE:
    - Soma - cell body
    - Dendrites- listeners
    - Axons- talkers
    NEURON TYPES:
    MULTIPOLAR neurons
    - three or more processes
    - one axon, bunch of dendrites
    BIPOLAR neurons
    - one axon, one dendrite (found in special places - retina of your eye)
    UNIPOLAR neurons
    - have only one process (found in your sensory receptors)
    NEURON FUNCTIONS:
    SENSORY neurons - afferent neurons
    -> transmit inpulses from sensory receptors toward the CNS
    -> mostly unipolar
    MOTOR neurons - efferent neurons
    -> impulse moves from the CNS to the rest of the body
    -> mostly multipolar
    INTERNEURONS - association neurons
    -> impulse moves between sensory and motor neurons
    -> mostly multipolar

      @@lindaw5695 Depends how old your dad is and where he is from. It's not that there are loads of doctors and nurses here. But essentially since after WWII it became too expensive and time consuming(at least 6 years before specialization) to train your own medical staff in the West. So Britian eg used its former colonies building the post war national health service on Indian doctors. You'll find most Western countries do similar things though that leads to a reaction often from former immigrants trying to limit immigration because who wants foreigners in their country. To relate this to the integumentary system immigration rules build the wall suspend green cards etc are like the skin barrier. Commercial product wipes out the indigenous homeostasis (pongy oils instead of becoming health care workers you train to be bankers and lawyers becuase there's more money in it for you) and then you need more product (selective immigration) to do the job of protecting your skin. Bit of a stretch but yeah there wold be a lot more doctors in India if they all came back home.

    Motor Output: The response that occurs when your Nervous System activates certain parts of your body.
    Key:
    (MC)”word”: if its behind the word then it means it branches from it
    “word”(MC):means is it’s the nervous system or (NS) that it may have branches.
    Central Nervous System(CNS):
    Brain and spinal cord.
    Main control center.
    Peripheral Nervous System(PNS):
    All the nerves that branch off from the brain and spine that allow your CNS to communicate with the rest of your body.
    Works in both directions (PNS)
    Sensory Division(SD):
    Picks up sensory stimuli.
    Motor Division(MD):
    Sends directions from your Brain to Muscles and Glands.
    (MD)Sematic Nervous System(SNS): voluntary
    rules skeletal muscle movement.
    (MD)Autonomic Nervous System(ANS): involuntary
    keeps your heart beating.
    (ANS)Sympathetic Nervous System:
    Mobilizes the body into action
    (ANS)parasympathetic:
    Relaxes the body
    Astrocytes (Nervous System):
    Exchanges materials between neurons and capillaries.
    Microglial Cells(MC):
    Immune defense against invading microorganisms.
    (MC)Satellite Cells:
    Surround and support Neuron cell bodies.
    (MC)Schwan Cells:
    Produce an insulating barrier called by Myelin Sheath.
    Crazy facts about neurons:
    1.They are the longest-lived cells in the human body.
    2.They are irreplaceable.
    3.They have huge appetites

    I don't know if you read these comments, but I cannot thank you enough for making these videos! I have an amazing AP professor, but I'm such a visual person that your videos help me to make sense of what she is teaching. ALSO, as a hard of hearing person, THANK YOU for providing accurate subtitles that follow your rate of speech (which I'm sure is not an easy thing to do).

      They're harmless (not significantly venomous) and only bite if you make them. Better yet, a few species are super-curious and will actively explore you. Really fascinating stuff.

    Thanks so much to C.C. as my A&P teacher is beyond dull and almost useless as a college-level instructor. This guy is funny and "animated" and seems to "live" this material. His humor and clarity have helped me because I've had to, mostly, teach myself the A&P I'm doing this semester. A good teacher is a unique type of person, and I'd say this guy's got that "special something". Thank you from a struggling student. Warm Regards.
