Learning Target

1. I can define homeostasis.

2. I can explain why the nervous system is critical for
maintaining homeostasis.
3. I can identify the different systems in the nervous system
and explain the structure and function of each.
4. I can compare the basic function of neurons and glial
cells.
5. I can list the three types of neurons and identify their
primary functions.
6. I can identify the basic neural pathway that is involved in
the knee reflex.
7. I can draw a neuron and label its parts.
8. I can describe the structure of a myelinated neuron
9. I can identify the main structures of the central nervous
system, and describe its general functions.
10.I can explain how the blood-brain barrier and the
cerebrospinal fluid protect the brain and spinal cord.
11.I can identify five hemostatic functions of the brain
12.I can identify the major structures in the hindbrain,
midbrain, and forebrain and the functions of these
structures

13.I can explain what the resting membrane potential is,

and why it is significant to the functioning of neurons.
14.I can identify and explain the three factors that contribute
to the resting membrane potential.
15.I can explain the difference between depolarization of a
neuron and an action potential.
16.I can describe the all-or-none response.
17.I can describe the process of repolarization in in the
neuron, and explain its importantce in the transmission of
a neural impulse

18.I can summarize the events that occur as an impulse is

propagated along the length of the neuron.
19.I can summarize the events involved in impulse
transmission from presynaptic neuron to the
postsynaptic neuron.
20.I can identify the four lobes of the cerebrum, and
describe the function of each
