Tissue
After attending this series of lectures and studying the text and lecture
presentations and notes the student should be able to:
1. Describe the functions of the nervous system.
2. Outline the organization of the nervous system.
3. Describe the functions of the supporting cells of the central nervous system
(CNS). Include the functions of astrocytes, microglia, ependymal cells,
oligodendrocytes, satellite cells, and Schwann cells.
4. Accurately label the lecture diagram of a neuron and describe the functions
of the parts.
5. Provide a functional definition of each of the following: dendrite, axon, tract,
nerve, ganglia, nuclei, myelin sheath, neurilemma, node of Ranvier, white
matter, gray matter.
6. Explain both the structural and functional classification of neurons.
