  • The central neural system includes the brain and the spinal cord and is the site of information processing and control.
  • The peripheral neural system comprises all the nerves of the body associated with the CNS.

2. Neuron: Structure and Types

  • A neuron is the structural and functional unit of the neural system.
  • A neuron is a microscopic excitable cell composed of the cell body, dendrites, and axon.
  • The cell body contains cytoplasm, organelles, and Nissl's granules.
3

3. Resting Potential and Nerve Impulse

  • Neurons are excitable because their membranes are in a polarised state.
  • At rest, the axonal membrane is more permeable to K+ and nearly impermeable to Na+.
  • The axoplasm contains high K+ and negatively charged proteins and low Na+.
4

4. Synapse and Transmission of Impulse

  • A synapse is a junction formed by the membranes of a pre-synaptic neuron and a post-synaptic neuron.
  • The synaptic cleft may or may not be present between the two membranes.
  • There are two types of synapses: electrical synapse and chemical synapse.
