Welcome to Module 11

Welcome to Week 11!

In this week's module, we will explore Chapter 12, The Central Nervous System (CNS). The CNS is composed of the brain and the spinal cord.

Mastering assignments will include homework, labs, and quizzes for both chapters. In addition, dissection videos are incorporated into the Mastering assignments.

Please use the learning objectives listed in the Week 11 Module as a study guide for the quizzes and the exams.

As always, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
