Human Nervous System
What you will learn
β’ Describe the structure and function of the different neural systems including the autonomic, peripheral, somatosensory, motor, visual, auditory, neuro-endocrine, limbic and olfactory systems.
β’ Describe and give examples of neurological diseases arising from dysfunction or degeneration of brain regions and pathways studied
β’ In this course will learn about the brain and spinal cord, and how the peripheral nervous system consists of the nerves that extend to all the other organs in the body.

### **Course Description:**
Embark on an enlightening journey through the complex and fascinating world of the nervous system with our comprehensive online course. **Nervous System** by Komal Mahajan is meticulously crafted to provide you with a thorough understanding of both the structure and function of this critical system that governs our very thoughts and movements.
π **What You’ll Learn:**
– **Detailed Anatomy Lessons:** Gain an in-depth knowledge of the central and peripheral nervous systems, and how they interact to manage all bodily functions.
– **Brain and Spinal Cord Exploration:** Discover the gross anatomy of the human brain and spinal cord, and understand their role within the context of the autonomic, sensory, visual, auditory, somatosensory, and olfactory systems.
– **Complex System Dynamics:** Learn about the neurovascular unit, including lectures on the vasculature, ventricles, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which are crucial for maintaining homeostasis within the nervous system.
– **Neuron and Neurotransmitter Interactions:** Explore the fascinating world of neurons, axons, synapses, and neurotransmitters that enable communication within the nervous system.
– **Glial Support Systems:** Understand the vital roles of glial cells, which provide support and nutrition to neurons and modulate neuroimmune interactions.
– **Central vs. Peripheral:** Distinguish between the central nervous system (CNS) β encompassing the brain, spinal cord, and retina β and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which includes sensory neurons, ganglia, and the network of nerves connecting them to the CNS.
