Sudden Responses to Stimuli

Reflex actions are responsible for immediate responses to stimuli in animals.

Control and Coordination Systems

The nervous system and endocrine system are both involved in control and coordination in humans and animals.

Human Sense Organs

Five sense organs in the human body: eyes (sight), ears (hearing), nose (smell), tongue (taste), skin (touch).

Nervous System Components

The nervous system consists of nerve fibers and nerve cells that transmit impulses between different parts of the body.

Hormonal Regulation

The endocrine system produces and secretes hormones for control and coordination in humans.

Function of Receptors

Receptors detect changes in the environment and are essential for sensory perception and response.

Nervous System Unit

The neuron is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system.

Neuron Structure

Dendrites are the parts of the neuron that transmit nerve impulses towards the cell body.

Central Nervous System Functions

The Central Nervous System (CNS) processes information, coordinates actions, and integrates sensory input.

Brain Functions

The cerebrum is the part of the brain responsible for control and coordination of voluntary functions.

Information Transmission to the Brain

The sensory neurons carry information from all parts of the body to the brain.

Axon Structure

Myelin sheath covers the Schwann cells in the neuron's axon, enhancing the speed of nerve impulse transmission.
