Function of NS and how it is divided
Neurons – parts, types, nerve impulses (Na+, K+, sodium-potassium pump), synapse (neurotransmitters),
neuromuscular junctions
Reflex arc – what it is and how it happens (5 parts)
CNS – brain (parts and their functions), cerebral lobes (4), brain comparison among different
vertebrates, what makes humans “intelligent”, spinal cord (functions and structure)
PNS – function, somatic and autonomic nervous systems
Autonomic nervous system – function, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
The Brain – parts and their functions, lobes and what is processed in each lobe
Eye – parts and their functions, retina (rods and cones), how we see, disorders of the visual system
Ear – parts and their functions, how we hear, disorders of the auditory system
Endocrine glands – where they are found in the body
Steroid and protein hormones- what they are and 1 example
Hormones- source, target organ and effect of the following hormones: human growth hormone,
oxytocin, thyroxine, epinephrine, insulin, glucagon , melatonin as well as the reproductive hormones.
Insulin and glucagon – source and their role in maintaining blood glucose levels
Calcitonin and PTH – source and their role in maintaining blood calcium levels
Pituitary gland – anterior and posterior, link to nervous system and why it is known as the “master
gland”
