An introduction to the human nervous systems - both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system Doc Brown's GCSE level biology exam revision study notes Sub-index for nervous system notes (1) Introduction to the nervous system (2) Reminder - comparing two control systems (hormones and nerve cells) (3) Function and types of receptor cells (4) The structure and function of the central nervous system (CNS) (5) The central nervous system and reflex actions - the reflex arc (6) Simple physical response tests - how fast is your reaction time! See also The brain - what the different parts do and the dangers if damaged
and
Sense organs - with particular reference to humans
Any practical work and investigations you did should also be revised (which should also be revised, helps in understanding 'how science works' and context examination questions):
