This tutorial package is designed as a comprehensive foundation
level text on the nervous system. The program makes extensive use
of high-quality colour graphics, clear textual descriptions, animation
and interactive features to enhance the learning experience. These
include student-centred exercises to reinforce the presented material
and novel feedback question and answer sessions e.g. a crossword.
The material is divided into three sections:
1. Major Cell Functions - terminology,
structure and function of nerve and glial cells.
2. The Peripheral Nervous System - structure and
function of spinal and cranial nerves
3. The Central Nervous System - major structures
of the brain and spinal cord
Information may be accessed in a highly flexible manner. There
is an index and a glossary, giving definitions of common terms,
available at all times. In the final section there is a choice of
self-assessment exercises: a bank of 29 test questions or a hangman
game. |
