Nervous System – Organization, Divisions, Functions, and Cellular Basis (2024) Unknown Author

Description

This introductory material covers the organization of the nervous system (CNS and PNS), its functional divisions (sensory, motor, somatic, autonomic), and its primary functions (sensory reception, integration, and motor response). It also details the principal cell types (neurons and neuroglia), their classification, structure, properties (irritability and conductivity), and the mechanism of initiating and propagating a nerve impulse (depolarization and action potential).
