Explanation should include

• identification of the components of the nervous system, including the central and peripheral nervous systems
• the function of the nervous system (e.g., sensory input, integration, motor output, coordination, maintenance of homeostasis)
• common diseases and disorders of the nervous system (e.g., epilepsy, intervertebral disc disease, neuropathies, encephalitis, degenerative myelopathy).

Process/Skill Questions:

• How would you describe the structure and function of a neuron?
• What is a synapse?
• What are the classifications of neurons?
• How would you describe transmission, including neurotransmitters and transmission at a synapse?
• What are the three types of nerves, and how do they differ?
