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.
