10 Points of beginner neurobiology

1. negative and positive feedback systems maintain homeostasis
2. Central Nervous System includes the brain and spinal cord
3. Peripheral Nervous System is made up of systemic and autonomic system
4. the nervous system consists of neurons and glial cells
5. gial cells are like nurses-they support, clean and protect the nerve
6. a nerve is made up of a cell body, dendrites, axons, and myelin sheath
7. dendrites receive and send nerve impulses
8. axons conduct impulses away from cell body
9. myelin sheath insulates axons to speed rate of nerve impulse transmission
10. schwann cells are glial cells that form myelin sheath
