Study Notes
Nervous System Functions
- The nervous system is responsible for controlling and coordinating body functions, including movement, sensation, and cognitive functions.
Neuron Structure
- The dendrites of a neuron receive signals from other neurons.
Brain Structure and Function
- The cerebellum coordinates muscle movements, maintains posture, and regulates balance and coordination.
Central Nervous System Protection
- The meninges are the protective membranes that encase and protect the spinal cord.
Peripheral Nervous System
- The sensory neurons of the peripheral nervous system transmit sensory information from the body to the spinal cord and brain.
Spinal Cord Function
- The spinal cord serves as a communication pathway between the brain and the rest of the body, transmitting and processing information.
