    Study Notes

    Nervous System Components

    • The Central Nervous System (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord.

    Neuron Types

    • There are three types of neurons: sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons.

    Central Nervous System Regions

    • The cerebellum is the region of the CNS responsible for coordinating movement and balance.

    Peripheral Nervous System

    • The two main components of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) are the Somatic Nervous System (SNS) and the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS).

    Interneuron Function

    • The main function of interneurons is to integrate and process information within the CNS.
