Lesson Plans• What are they?
Topic Key Points Notes
Introduction Transition from Biomechanics to Neuromechanics
Ask how test 1 went
Structure & Function of NS CNS/PNSGross Organization
What does our NS do? Comparison to heart (pump) and lungs (air sacs)
Neuron Dendrites-ReceiveSoma-IntegratesAxon-Sends
One way transmission
Synapse Communication between cellsCHEMICAL
Electrical > Chemical > Electrical How cool?
So What? NS like the electrical wiring in a house. Problems if wires cross or short circuit
Cockroach Beatbox YouTubeWhich pathways were used?How does the NS communicate?
Clearest/Muddiest Point
Lead in to next Class From Structure of a neuron to structure of a pathway
Bring questions to next class
