Describe the structure of the nervous system.  Include the following terms: central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, enteric nervous system, sensory receptors, afferent neurons, efferent neurons, nerves, tracts, and effectors.

Compare and contrast the basic anatomy of the parasympathetic and sympathetic systems, includingcentral nervous system locations, ganglia locations, pre- and post-ganglionic neuron relative lengths,and ganglionic and effector neurotransmitters.

a. Explain how a graded membrane potential is created when a neurotransmitter is bound by a postsynaptic cell. b. Describe the major events of an action potential using the graph of membrane potential.

Describe the basic pathway of parasympathetic innervation through cranial nerves and sacral spinal nerves to the visceral organs.

Subject: Neurophysiology  Describe pre- to –post synaptic signaling in the CNS.  Underline (or circle if you make a drawing) places where there are major differences between the CNS and the neuromuscular junction.
