1.Make a diagram of the functional organization of the nervous system including the following terms: CNS, PNS, afferent NS, efferent NS, sympathetic, somatic sensory, parasympathetic, visceral sensory, somatic motor, autonomic motor
2.Name the glial cells of the CNS and their function:
3.What’s the glial cell in the PNS that is the same as oligodendrocytes?
4. What are the basic steps that occur in transmission in a synapse?
5.Sensory is the same as ______, motor is the same as ______and interneuron is the same as ______fibers______. Sensory neurons transmit impulses from/to sensory receptors from/to CNS. Motor neurons transmits impulses from/to CNS from/to skeletal muscles and glands.
6.Association fibers make up ______% of neurons in the body
7.Describe how regeneration of nervous tissue occurs in the CNS and the PNS
8.Where is CSF found/around what meninges and how is it formed and circulated?
9. In the spinal cord there are enlargements at the ______and ______regions. The first innervates ______limbs and the second innervates ______limbs.
10. Describe what occurs at the following areas of the cerebral cortex

11. What sense in humans is not relayed through the thalamus?
12. True or False:
Each muscle receives a nerve supply from more than one spinal nerve, so damage to one spinal nerve doesn’t completely paralyze a muscle.
