Describe the structures found in the peripheral nervous system and the functions of those parts in the human body.

Students learn about the classes of pharmaceuticals that interact with the autonomic nervous system, and then relate the consequences of nicotine abuse with respect to autonomic control of the cardiovascular system.

This lesson will discuss nervous system disorders and their causes.

Describes the organization and function of the nervous system.

Learn here about nervous tissue, tissue that is composed of two types of cells - neurons and glial cells.

Students study the adult brain, and learn the connections between the cerebrum and brain stem through the diencephalon, and from those regions into the spinal cord.

This site, created by a biology professor at Eastern Kentucky University, provides an overview of the brain and nerve senses of the bird.

Nervous system signals are transmitted electrically along individual neurons, but neurons are separated from each other by a tiny gap. Chemical messengers called neurotransmitters cross the gap between neurons. Neurotransmitters fit into...

Find out about the major sections of the neurological exam and the connection between location and function in the nervous system. Also learn the benefit of a rapid assessment for neurological function in a clinical setting.

Students learn the pathways that sensory systems follow into the central nervous system, and understand the difference between the two major ascending pathways in the spinal cord.

Messages within the brain and the rest of the nervous system are sent very rapidly. These messages are conducted by cells called neurons. Neurons are specialized to receive and transmit message and neurons are connected in networks. In...

Nervous system messages are sent as electrical signals along the length of axons and dissolved salts are important for electrical signaling in cells. In this activity students are introduced to this concept by creating an electrical...

Class notes on The Nervous System - Spinal Cord and Peripheral Nerves.

This article gives examples of how it looks when a child is experiencing sensory processing issues and gives tips on how to provide a sensory diet to "nourish" a child's nervous system. The examples and tips are categorized into groups...

Students will learn the components of the membrane that establish the resting membrane potential, and find out the changes that occur to the membrane that result in the action potential.

Students conduct an experiment to determine whether or not the sense of smell is important to being able to recognize foods by taste. They do this by attempting to identify several different foods that have similar textures. For some of...
