7B Chapter 12 , Part I-Nervous System exam due Tuesday 11/22/2011

Figure 12.3, Figure 12.6, Figure 12.7, Figure 12.10, Figure 12.14, Figure 12.17, Figure 12.18
and the Nervous System table from your handout of PNS - peripheral nervous system.
The test is comprehensive.
The bonus question is: Can one area of the brain take over the functions of another area in cases of injury?
You have to know the structure of the nervous system and the functions of their parts.  Monday will have a test review in the class.  Be ready!

gray matter, white matter in the spinal cord and reflex arc

The following video tells you what the gray matter (composed of cell bodies and nuclei) and white matter (composed of axons) are in the spinal cord.  Continue the next tutorial section and it will bring you to the reflex arch.  I find this neuroanatomy tutorial video series is extremely beneficial.

meninges related

Meninges: The three membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord (singular: meninx).
The outside meninx is called the dura mater, and is the most resilient of the three. The center layer is the arachnoid membrane and the thin innermost layer is the pia mater. Inflammation of the meninges (meningitis) can occur due to bacterial infection.
