In this video I provide an introduction to the body's nervous system including;
- The central nervous system (CNS)
- The peripheral nervous system (PNS)
- The organisation of the spinal cord into cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral nerve groups
- The basic structure of a nerve cell (neuron; dendrites, cell body, axon, myelin sheath and axon terminals)
- The function of the myelin sheath
- What occurs at a synapse
- Neurotransmitter function and types
- The difference between white and grey matter
- Pathologies such as spinal cord damage and Multiple Sclerosis
