Nervous System Flashcards
The nervous system is one of the largest and most detailed body systems students study, covering everything from individual neurons to brain structures to how the body protects itself through reflexes. This deck is organized to move from the basics — cells and communication — out to brain anatomy and the major divisions of the nervous system.
Cards cover neurons, brain structures, reflexes, the central and peripheral divisions, and how the nervous system is physically protected. Each term includes a clinical note connecting the structure or process to neurological assessment.
