What are the two main types of epithelial tissue?

Back

The two main types of epithelial tissue are simple epithelium and stratified epithelium.

Front

What is the role of the sympathetic nervous system?

Back

The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for 'fight or flight' responses during stressful situations.

Front

What is the role of the parasympathetic nervous system?

Back

The parasympathetic nervous system promotes 'rest and digest' functions when the body is at rest.

Front

What is the difference between the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system?

Back

The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system includes all the nerves outside the central nervous system.
