NERVOUS SYSTEM I

CNS (Central Nervous System) Segmentation PNS (Peripheral Nervous System) Spinal Nerves Neuron Types Autonomic Nervous System (how many nervous systems are there anyways?)

Central Nervous System (CNS)

Brain and Spinal Cord Command Central PNS (Peripheral Nervous System) are nerves that go out to targets in body

Counting Body Segments (vertebrae versus nerves)

Why are there seven cervical vertebrae but eight cervical nerves?

Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

All nerves that leave the CNS Two Modalities:
(hint: SAME) Sensory/Afferent
(info. In)
Somatic Visceral/Autonomic Somatic Visceral/Autonomic --smooth mm. --heart --glands

(commands out)

Autonomic Targets
All have dual sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation (more in N.S.II)
