Description

In this anatomy course, part of the Anatomy Specialization, you will be introduced to the central and peripheral nervous systems. You will learn about basic neuroanatomy, sensory pathways, motor pathways and the autonomic nervous system.

The course includes illustrated lecture videos and quizzes to help you expand and test your knowledge of the nervous system. By the end of this course, you will have a better understanding of how the entire body influences, and is influenced, by the nervous system.

Knowledge

  • Learn the gross anatomy of the central and peripheral nervous systems, and the names and functions of the cranial nerves
  • Understand how sensory information enters the brain
  • Understand how the brain and spinal cord control the muscles
  • Understand how the autonomic nervous system activates the fight or flight response
