About:
This 23-card flashcard set covers nervous system anatomy and physiology for students preparing for the TEAS exam. It includes the divisions of the nervous system, neuron structure and function, synapses, sensory and motor neurons, and autonomic versus somatic control. Use it for exam review, self-study, or classroom reinforcement of nervous system concepts.
