Nervous System Worksheet

This document provides a worksheet on the nervous system. It includes a diagram of a neuron to label with parts like the axon, myelin sheath, cell body, dendrites, axon terminals, and muscle fibers. It also has matching questions to link different types of neurons with their functions. Additionally, it asks the learner to match terms like synapse, nerve impulse, and neurotransmitter with their descriptions. Finally, it asks the learner to identify if parts of the nervous system are part of the central or peripheral nervous system and to label and color the three main parts of the brain.
