Study Notes

The nervous system has anatomical divisions of central and peripheral nervous systems.
Functionally, it can be divided into sensation, integration, and generating responses.
Different structures are found in each division, such as nuclei in CNS and ganglia in PNS.
Neurons and glial cells are the major cell types in nervous tissue.
Neurons are responsible for communication through electrical signals.
Glial cells are supporting cells that maintain the environment around the neurons.
Sensation starts with the activation of a sensory ending and travels through the spinal cord to the brain.
The action potential is the basis of the electrical signal in the nervous system.
Communication between neurons involves graded potentials and synapses, which can be chemical or electrical.
Neurotransmitter systems vary based on the neurotransmitter produced by that neuron.
