The nervous system is split into these two primary divisions.
What are the central and peripheral nervous systems?
This section of the brain makes up the majority of its mass, and is divided into several lobes.

What is a neuron?
These types of neurons receive signals from the brain to allow for muscle action.

This subdivision of the peripheral nervous system deals with nerve cells receiving information from receptors in the body and relaying it to the CNS.
What is the afferent system?
This part of the brain helps the right and left hand sides of the brain communicate.
What is the corpus callosum?
These structures arise from the neuron cell body, and branch out to receive information.
What are dendrites?
These types of neurons send messages to the brain after receiving information from their receptors.
What are sensory neurons?

These are the two parts that make up the involuntary part of the efferent system.
What are the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems?
This 'gap' separates the left and right hand sides of the brain.
What is the longitudinal fissure?
This electrically insulating layer surrounds the axon and improves the speed of impulses.
What is the myelin sheath?
This space is where signals are transmitted between neurons and skeletal muscle fibres.
What are neuromuscular synapses?
