Overview of the Nervous System and the Neuron

This study guide covers the nervous system, including the Central Nervous System (CNS) (brain and spinal cord) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) (somatic and autonomic). It details the autonomic nervous system's subdivisions: sympathetic ("fight or flight") and parasympathetic ("rest and digest"). It also explains neurons, including sensory, interneurons, and motor neurons, as well as action potentials, neurotransmitters, and synapses. Finally, it provides exam tips and practice questions.
