Become an active participant in your learning as you investigate the human body. Watch animations, complete interactive exercies, answer questions, and take quizzes—learn science in a new way.

Look inside the human body to explore the nervous system, a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells that transmit signals throughout the body. First, learn about the parts of the nervous system, including neuron cells and their components. Then test your knowledge by matching structures of the nervous system with their functions using an interactive model.

• Discover the purpose, use, and importance of the nervous system.
• Identify different structures that make up the central and peripheral nervous systems.
• Learn about neurons and how they function.
• Explore the three regions of the brain.
• Match structures of the nervous system with their functions.
