Nervous System: Neurons, Networks, Human Brain DVD

Beschreibung

A great, cost-effective supplement to your school's biology curriculum. This DVD comes complete with printable PDFs of study guides, worksheets, and an annotated script explaining interesting shots along with the location and circumstances involved in capturing them. It begins by examining the structure and function of neurons; resting, action, and post-synaptic potentials; and reflexes and neural networks. The peripheral, somatic, autonomic, sympathetic, and parasympathetic nervous systems are introduced before looking at the central nervous system. After describing spinal cord structure and function, the program then examines the human brain including the medulla, pons, and cerebellum of the hindbrain; the reticular formation of the midbrain; and the thalamus, limbic system, and cerebral cortex of the forebrain.
