This is part 1 of a 2-part series on the nervous system. In this webinar, we will learn about the biological basis of the nervous system, from how it is organized and subdivided, to the different types of cells that are in the peripheral nervous system versus the central. Join us to tackle the most efficient signaling system in our body!

On the MCAT

  • The nervous system is different from the endocrine system, but often these two systems are tested together to see if you can differentiate them

  • The nervous system has many overlaps with psychology, electrochemistry, and biochemistry - be ready to make connections!

Testimonial

I think these webinars are really helpful! I like how they’re styled like a TED talk, so they don’t interfere with the day, but they’re really helpful review 🙂

I found everything helpful about these webinars: the explanations, the illustrations, just everything!

Amazing material conveyed concisely and in great detail!

The wealth of information and sample questions are great.

“These 30 minute FREE, live videos conducted each Friday helped me get through the pandemic. Weike is an exceptional tutor, and being able to ask questions after she’s done was magnificent. These webinars have even helped me in class subjects such as Biochemistry.  I’m looking forward to starting one-on-one tutoring with Cambridge Coaching, and I’m already feeling confident about taking the MCAT when the time comes.”
