Human CNS and PNS Structure

Beginning students often have great difficulty in filtering the pertinent basic elements of neuroanatomy fromreading assignments and lecture material. In addition, the actual process of taking notes may limit classroomlearning. The approach of this text is to secure the fundamentals, limit note taking and enhance class timelearning.The text is specifically prepared to aid the first year chiropractic student in following lectures on the neuroanatomyof the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). Clinical applicationsand accessory structures of the nervous system are explored.This eighth edition includes material related to the PNS as well as minor updates to the CNS material.Gale Lewellen first published Human CNS Structure in 1980. Since its original printing, the book hasbeen a valuable resource for chiropractic students learning neuroanatomy. The next step in developing thisresource is the addition of PNS material. The preparation of the PNS material was strongly influenced by theformat Mr. Lewellen used in preparing the CNS material. It is hoped that this text will continue to helpchiropractic students maximize their understanding of neurology.
