  • Summary

    The distinction between the anatomy of the peripheral and central nervous systems is made, as is that between grey matter and white matter.

The chapter concludes with a section on the soma, axon hillock and initial segment, which should aid appreciation of anterior horn cell activation and firing frequency.
