Nervous System Worksheet

The document is a worksheet about the nervous system with questions about the parts and functions of neurons, the central nervous system, and the peripheral nervous system. It asks students to label a diagram of a neuron, color parts of the neuron, match neuron types to their functions, match nervous system terms to their descriptions, indicate if parts are part of the central or peripheral nervous system, and label and color the major parts of the brain.
