Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: 1. Human Neural System, 2. Neuron: Structure and Types, 3. Resting Potential and Nerve Impulse.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 113 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Neural Control and Coordination after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Neurons are specialised excitable cells of the neural system.
  • Human neural system has two parts: CNS and PNS.
  • CNS includes brain and spinal cord.
  • Neuron has cell body, dendrites, and axon.
  • Nissl's granules are present in the cell body and dendrites.
  • Dendrites carry impulses towards the cell body.
  • Resting membrane is polarised.
  • At rest, membrane is more permeable to K+ than Na+.
  • Sodium-potassium pump moves 3 Na+ out and 2 K+ in.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The neural system and the endocrine system work separately and do not coordinate body activities together.

The human neural system is divided into brain and spinal cord on one side, and all nerves on the other side, but the CNS and PNS are not the main division.

Afferent fibres carry commands from the CNS to organs, while efferent fibres bring information to the CNS.
