Divisions of the nervous system (the coverings of the brain and spinal cord, the formation and function of cerebrospinal fluid, the structure of the spinal cord and its major functions, a reflex arc, reflex behavior, the major parts of the brain and the functions of each, motor, sensory, and association areas of the cerebral cortex, hemisphere dominance, the stages in memory storage, the functions of the limbic system and the reticular formation, the major parts of the peripheral nervous system, the structure of a peripheral nerve, the cranial nerves and list their major functions, spinal nerves and their functions, the autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system).

10 - Somatic and special senses (five kinds of receptors and the function of each, receptors, sensation, somatic and special senses, the receptors associated with the senses of touch and pressure, temperature, and pain, stretch receptors in muscles and tendons, the relationship between the senses of smell and taste, the parts of the ear, the eye and the fun
