The outline for the nervous system is very large, so I've split it into two parts: Part 1 and Part 2.
Pretty easy to follow so far, eh?

Do the overview on this page first, then navigate to Nervous System 1 and then Nervous System 2.

We will only very briefly touch on the senses.
Most of your study of the human senses will be in the first part of the A&P 2 Lab course --next semester.
