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.
