• BIOS 252 Week 2 Nervous System-
Introduction with expert solutions
+ rationales - Chamberlain
College of Nursing
Learning Outcomes:
• Organize the NS into structural and functional divisions
• Locate and identify the cellular components of nervous tissue
• Explain the formation of the resting membrane potential and the
action potential, and the propagation of the action potential to form a
nerve impulse.
• Explain the factors involved in the transmission of an action potential
from one neuron to another in the synapse.
Introduction
The nervous system is a vast network of neurons that act as a
communication system throughout the body. The structures of the nervous
system include the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Today you will explore
its organization and cellular components. You will also explore the
physiology of action potentials that allows communication via electrical
impulses.

Nervous System Lab Report
1. List the components of the central nervous system vs the peripheral
nervous system.
(1 point; ½ point each)
CNS: brain: cerebellum, cerebrum, brainstem and diencephalon and the
spinal cord.
PNS: somatic, autonomic, enteric nervous system. Sensory (afferent)
nerve fibers, sensory receptors and sensory (efferent) nerve fibers.
2. Compare and contrast the following parts of the peripheral NS
utilizing the chart: (3 points; 1/2 point each)
