Neural Physiology What is the basic unit of structure and function of the nervous system? What are the different types and specific functions? How does it conduct Sensory and motor function of the human body? What are the accessory structures of the Nervous system and how do these accessory structures enhance the function of the system? What is membrane potential and how is this created? What is an impulse? What is synaptic transmission? What are neurotransmitters, types and their specific functions?

Neurons are specialized cells that transmit information through electrical and chemical signals. They have three main parts: the cell body, dendrites, and axon. The cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles necessary for the neuron's function. Dendrites Show more…

Briefly describe the overall Nervous System: What are the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems? What are Sensory, Motor, and Integrative Neurons? Where are these found? Overall how do they work together to make us function?
