Grey’s Anatomy Quote
• The brain is the human body's most mysterious organ. It learns. It changes. It adapts. It tells us what we see. What we hear. It lets us feel love. I think it holds our soul. But no matter how much research we do, no one can really say how all that delicate gray matter inside our skull works. And when it's hurt, when the human brain is traumatized, well... that's when it gets even more mysterious.

Nervous System
• What does it do?
• How does it do it?

Neurons
• Initiate and transmit impulses• High metabolic rate• Longevity• Typically non-mitotic• Variety of shapes and sizes• Comprised of a cell body, dendrites and
axons

Sensory vs. Motor
• Sensory Neurons (afferent)
– Transmit information to the CNS
• Motor Neurons (efferent)
– Transmit information away from the CNS

cell membrane– Faster in myelinated fibers
