Competencies we are covering this week

1.  Academic competency:  understand human anatomy, physiology, common diseases and disorders and medical math principals

2.  Health maintenance practices:  differentiate between wellness and disease.  Promote disease prevention and model healthy behavior.

Learning Targets 

1.  list the organs of the nervous system and describe the generalized functions of the nervous system as a whole

2.  Identify the major types of cells in the nervous system and discuss the function of each

3.  Identify the structure of a nerve/ neuron

4.  compare and contrast the differences between a sensory,  motor and interneuron

5.  identify the anatomical and functional components of a three neuron reflex arc

6.  Describe the propogation of a nerve impulse along a nerve fiber and across a synaptic cleft.

- describe the differences between a graded potiential, and and action potential of a neuron.

7.  Identify the major neurotransmitters and describe their general function

8.  Identify and describe the anatomical components of the brain and spinal cord, their functions and brain and spinal cord dysfunctions.

9.  compare and contrast the coverings of the brain and spinal cord . Describe CSF flow through the brain, and discuss related disorders .

10.  Describe the differences between cranial and peripheral nerves, and related disorders

11. Discuss the structure of the ANS , the differences in the divisions and related disorders.
