Study Notes
Divisions of the Nervous System
- The Nervous System is divided into two major parts: the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).
- The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, serving as the primary control center for processing information.
Function of the Central Nervous System (CNS)
- The main function of the CNS is to process sensory information and coordinate responses, ensuring bodily functions and movements are regulated and controlled.
Involuntary Functions
- The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), a component of the Peripheral Nervous System, manages involuntary functions like heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate.
Module Topic Outline
- The module covers the structure and function of the Nervous System.
- It explores the distinctions between CNS and PNS, as well as the roles of voluntary and involuntary systems.
Learning Outcomes
- Upon completing the module, learners will be able to explain the major components of the Nervous System.
- Students will understand the functions of both the CNS and ANS, and identify how these systems interact to regulate body processes.
