Understanding the Anatomy of the Nervous System

Learn about the most complex body system with this Understanding the Anatomy of the Nervous System learning program. A.D.A.M., Inc. provides fully animated, fully narrated, interactive eLearning programs relevant to health care and life sciences.

This learning program begins with an introduction to the cells of the nervous system. You will then learn about the main components of neurons and about the classification of neurons and neuroglia. You will also learn about the major structures and components of the central nervous system (CNS) and of the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

Progress checks throughout the program will help reinforce key concepts. A final assessment at the end of the program will evaluate your ability to meet the learning objectives.

At the end of this learning program you will be able to demonstrate your knowledge of nervous system anatomy using the appropriate language. This program will cover 37 topics and will take you approximately 50 minutes to complete.

Upon completion of this learning program, you will be able to:
•Identify the cells and cellular components of the nervous system.
•Identify the major components of the central nervous system.
•Identify the major components of the peripheral nervous system.

Program Features:
•Fully-narrated and animated learning
•Evaluations throughout the program
•Narration script accessible at all times
