Nervous and Endocrine Systems: the Nervous System

Students will learn the three main types of neurons and how they travel through the body's nerve network. Diagrams explain how information is received using our sensory organs and then processed by the central and peripheral nervous systems. Other terminology includes: stimuli, response, nerve impulse, sensory neuron, motor neuron, interneuron, effector, synapse, senses, hormone, adrenal glands and adrenaline.
