Make a concept map about the"Nervous system" and give the parts of the structures, locations, and functions.Insert the all in all function of theNervous system and how it functions in aspecific body part. The picture is onlyan illustration, it doesnt decipt theactual output. - First, the system of the body will be divided by connecting lines into its structures and functions.Then each of these two major topics will be further subdivided into smaller components.Connecting lines or arrows will be used to join related divisions for the purpose of showing relationships.Occasionally, a brief description or word may be used along with the connecting lines to reinforce the explanation of the relationship.
Regeneration of a severed axon has a better chance forsuccess in the PNS than in the CNS. Why is regeneration inthe CNS less likely to succeed?
Visit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/neurolab)to see a virtual neurophysiology lab, and to observeelectrophysiological processes in the nervous system,where scientists directly measure the electrical signalsproduced by neurons. Often, the action potentials occur sorapidly that watching a screen to see them occur is nothelpful. A speaker is powered by the signals recorded froma neuron and it “pops” each time the neuron fires an actionpotential. These action potentials are firing so fast that itsounds like static on the radio. Electrophysiologists canrecognize the patterns within that static to understand whatis happening. Why is the leech model used for measuringthe electrical activity of neurons instead of using humans?
The autonomic portion of the PNS functions _________.a. consciouslyb. voluntarilyc. without conscious effortd. dependently

(b) Draw a simple diagram of the brainindicating where pain would eventually be perceived.
