state the main functions of the spinal cord,
label the structure of an efferent neurone,
identify the type of the neurone from diagrams given,
state the function of each type of neurone,
state the mode of transmission of information along the neurone,
describe briefly the pathway of transmission of information from receptors to effectors
draw and label a simple diagram of a synapse,
describe the transmission of information across synapses
state the role of the synapse in transmission,
give examples of voluntary action
give examples of involuntary action,
outline the transmission of information in voluntary action,

outline the transmission of information in involuntary action,

draw a schematic diagram showing a reflex arc,
give examples of nervous system related diseases.

3.2.4 Spinal cord

2. Teacher to compare
the structure and
functions between
spinal cord and
spinal nerve

3.2.5 Neurones

3. Teacher compare the

differences between
afferent, efferent and
interneurons and the
main functions of
neurons.

3.2.6 Transmission of
information along the
neurone

4. Compare
the
diagrams when at
rest, start of impulse
transmission,
and
end of transmission.

4. Students can draw

motor neurons and
make
distinct
comparisons of the
three
types
of
neurons.

5. Identify the pathway

of transmission of
information

5. Students are able to

identify the right and
wrong pathway

6. Teacher shown the

synapse
and
compare
with
neurotransmitter

6. Student able to
