Introduce the concepts covered in class by providing a visual representation of the HNS.

Move through the 'The Peripheral Nervous System' PP with the class - discuss the major components of this system - Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System and the sub branches.

Here's an animation that highlights the differences between the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems:

Session 12 - SAC Overview & Recap / Revision

Run through the Chapter 5 Test with the class - ensure that all students are comfortable with the content covered.

Move onto Wednesday's SAC preparation with the class - run through the logistics of the session and the content covered. Here is a list that will help students revise for the upcoming SAC (think function and location):

• The Human Nervous System
• The lobes of the brain
• Other areas of the brain
• Hemispheric specialisation
• 'Other' components of the brain that are involved in attention and wakefulness 

Students need to continue (begin) revising for upcoming SAC - writing chapter summaries for Chapters 4 & 5, creating cue cards for the content or completing any of the LA's that have not been completed.

Workbooks and student progress will be checked throughout the session.
