    This document provides a worksheet on the nervous system. It includes a diagram of a neuron to label with parts like the axon, dendrites, cell body, and myelin sheath. It also has exercises to match types of neurons with their functions, terms with descriptions, and identify if parts of the nervous system are part of the central or peripheral nervous system. The worksheet aims to teach the key components and organization of the nervous system.
