Divisions:
-Describe the main divisions of the nervous system: central (brain and spinal cord), peripheral (central and spinal nerves),
autonomic, and somatic.
-Describe the structural and functional classification of neurons: unipolar, bipolar, multipolar; sensory/afferent,
interneurons/association, motor/efferent.
- Explain the conduction of information through the nervous system: sensory input, integration, motor output.
Cellular level:
-Differentiate between neurons and supporting cells of the nervous system (e.g. Schwann cells, etc.).
- Identify characteristics of neurons, e.g., extreme longevity, (usually) amitotic, high metabolic rate
Identification:
- Label and describe the three major parts of the neuron: dendrite, cell body, axon.
- Label and describe the major parts of the brain:
Function:
- Explain the importance of cerebrospinal fluid.
- Characterize the protective structures of the central nervous system, including the skull, spine and three meninges: dura mater,
arachnoid mater,pia mater.
- Generalize the function of the blood-brain barrier: neuroglia usually prevents contact of blood.
Homeostasis:
- Discuss how the nervous system is important for maintaining homeostasis.
