Nervous System

Join the Amoeba Sisters on this introduction to the Nervous System! This video briefly describes the division of the central nervous system (including going over some general areas of the brain) and the peripheral nervous system before exploring some divisions of the peripheral nervous system (somatic and autonomic, parasympathetic and sympathetic). Then the video outlines glial cells and neurons before introducing the action potential and neurotransmitters.
