Document Summary
Understand basic regions of the brain and spinal cord and its relation to bodily functions (sensory and motor) Learn the pathways for movement and sensation in relation to the brain, and to look at the effects of disorders and injuries that affect these pathways. Develop an understanding of the vasculature of the nervous system and the effects of altered blood flow. Explore how different areas of the brain work together and what happens when one of them is not functioning normally. Identify the basic operational components of the nervous system. Describe the cell type of the nervous system. Pns 12 pairs of cranial nerves, 31 pairs of spinal nerves. Ganglia: specialized collection of neurons that share a similar function. Plexus: brachial, lumbar, sacral, collection of neurons in a similar region. Electrical signal targeting an effector, the thing that is going to create an effect, works of muslces (effector cells) Do not participate directly in synaptic interactions.
