Create a PowerPoint presentation (9-12 slides) that outlines the basic functions of the brain and nervous system. Be sure to address the following issues in your presentation:

•  Brain: Illustrate the major lobes of the brain as well as the areas in the sub-cortex. A brief description of the function of each component should be included.

1. Show the gross anatomy of the brain.
2. Show both the neurons and various types of glial cells.
3. Identify the structure of a neuron.

• Nervous System: Illustrate the major components of the nervous system (Central/Peripheral, Autonomic/Somatic, and Sympathetic/Parasympathetic). Also, include the basic functions of each section, along with the basic functions of neurons.

1. Show the gross anatomy of the nervous system
2. Show synaptic transmission
3. Explain what happens to cells during an action potential

Speaker notes, of 50-75 words, are required for each slide. The title and reference slide do not count toward the total slide count.
