Organisation of the nervous system
Nervous system: define central nervous system, peripheral nervous system and autonomic nervous system
Regeneration: compare regenerative capacities of injured axons in the central and peripheral nervous systems

cards
Cells of the nervous system
Neuron organisation: recall the definition, structure, and function of a neuron (including nucleus, soma, dendrites, axon, synapses, lamina, synapses and fibre tract)
Neuronal cytoskeleton: recognise the key components of the neuronal cytoskeleton
Synapses: explain the distinguishing features of axo-dendritic, axo-somatic and axo-axonic synapses

Excitable cells
Resting membrane potential: explain how a resting membrane potential can arise across a selectively permeable membrane and recall the typical resting potential of a neuron
Equilibrium: define electrochemical equilibrium and equilibrium potential and perform calculations using the Nernst equation
