Electricity and the Nervous System: A nerve impulse is an electrical impulse travelling at 100 feet per second. It is formed by positive sodium ions and negative ions moving across the nerve membrane. This creates an electric potential across the membrane which gives the energy for the impulse to travel down the membrane which discharges the potential. There is then a lag while work energy is expended by the cell to restore the ion potential. Providing the stimulus has a certain threshold strength the nerve impulse will be triggered. At the end the axon secretes chemicals called hormones or neurotransmitters like adrenalin or acetylcholine. These pass the message on to the next stage — e.g. muscle — or another nerve. Then they are destroyed by enzymes. If they were not destroyed the neurotransmitter would continue to trigger nerve impulses and the nerve system would run wild. There are three types of nerve: sensory with dendrites connected to sense receptors, their axons connecting to other nerve cells; motor nerves, whose dendrites connect to axons of other nerves, but whose axons connect to muscles or glands; and association nerves which connect from one nerve to another. In the brain these nerves connect together to perform various functions as follows: the medulla controls breathing, heart function, blood pressure and digestive system. The cerebellum coordinates muscle movement. The thalamus and hypothalamus control the passage of sensory information, and regulate body temperature, appetite, sleep and similar functions as well as being the seat of emotions. And the cerebrum is the seat of conscious sensation, voluntary movements, memory and intelligence, the right and the left halves of the cerebrum (or cerebral hemispheres) are concerned with slightly different though overlapping functions. Thus the left is concerned with language, writing, logical analytical thought, whilst the right processes music, art, poetry and global holistic type thought such as dreams. This was up to date when I wrote it in 1991 – I am sure that it is basically still true, but so much research has occurred in this area in the past twenty years that much more could be said here! 14.
