Study Notes
Control and Coordination
- The nervous system and endocrine system are responsible for control and coordination in the human body
- The nervous system has two main parts:
- Central Nervous System (CNS) - includes the brain and spinal cord
- Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) - includes nerves connecting the CNS to the rest of the body
- The PNS has three types of nerves:
- Spinal nerves
- Cranial nerves
- Visceral nerves
- Key terms:
- Stimulus - any factor that can cause a response or change in the environment
- Receptor - cells or group of cells sensitive to a particular type of stimulus
- Effector - the part that responds to a stimulus, such as muscles or glands
- The process is:
- Stimulus is detected by receptors
- Receptors send signals to the brain/CNS
- CNS processes the signals and sends a response back
- Effectors carry out the response
Endocrine System
- The endocrine system is made up of glands that secrete hormones
- Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate various body functions
- Key endocrine glands include:
- Pituitary
- Thyroid
- Adrenal
- Pancreas
- Hormones travel in the bloodstream and target specific cells with receptors
- Hormones help maintain homeostasis and coordinate growth, development, metabolism, and reproduction
Plant Movement and Hormones
-
Plants also have hormones that regulate growth, development, and responses to environmental stimuli
-
Key plant hormones include:
- Auxin - promotes stem elongation
- Gibberellins - stimulate seed germination, stem elongation, and flowering
- Cytokinins - promote cell division and delay aging
- Abscisic acid - inhibits growth and promotes dormancy
-
Plant hormones work together in complex ways to coordinate plant functions### न्यूरॉन की संरचना और कार्य
-
न्यूरॉन हमारे नर्वतंत्र की मूल इकाई हैं
-
इनकी तीन प्रमुख संरचनाएँ हैं:
- डेंड्राइट्स: जो सिग्नल्स को प्राप्त करते हैं
- सोमा: न्यूरॉन का मुख्य शरीर, जहाँ सिग्नल को इलेक्ट्रिकल में रूपांतरित होता है
- एक्सॉन: जो इलेक्ट्रिकल सिग्नल को अगले न्यूरॉन तक पहुंचाता है
न्यूरॉन का कार्य
- रिसेप्टर्स द्वारा प्राप्त केमिकल सिग्नल को इलेक्ट्रिकल सिग्नल में बदलते हैं
- इलेक्ट्रिकल सिग्नल एक्सॉन द्वारा अगले न्यूरॉन तक पहुंचाया जाता है
- अगले न्यूरॉन पर, सिग्नल वापस केमिकल में बदल जाता है और अगले न्यूरॉन में प्रेषित किया जाता है
- यह प्रक्रिया नर्व इंपल्स के रूप में जारी रहती है
न्यूरॉन के प्रकार
- सेंसरी न्यूरॉन: जो रिसेप्टर्स से सिग्नल को कें द्रीय नर्वतंत्र तक पहुंचाते हैं
- मोटर न्यूरॉन: जो कें द्रीय नर्वतंत्र से मांसपेशियों और ग्रंथियों तक सिग्नल भेजते हैं
- इंटरन्यूरॉन: जो सेंसरी और मोटर न्यूरॉन के बीच कनेक्शन स्थापित करते हैं
न्यूरोमस्कुलर जंक्शन
-
मोटर न्यूरॉन का अंत मांसपेशियों से जुड़ा होता है
-
इस जंक्शन को न्यूरोमस्कुलर जंक्शन कहा जाता है
-
यह मांसपेशियों को मोटर न्यूरॉन द्वारा भेजे गए सिग्नलों को प्राप्त करने में मदद करता है### Brain Structure and Functions
-
Brain is the highest coordinating center of the body, located inside the skull
-
Brain is protected by a bony box called the cranium
-
Brain is surrounded by three membranes called meninges
-
Fluid called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is present between the meningeal layers to cushion the brain from mechanical shocks
Regions of the Brain
- The brain has three main parts: forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain
- Forebrain:
- Largest part, includes cerebrum
- Cerebrum has four lobes: frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital
- Frontal lobe involved in memory, learning, reasoning
- Temporal lobe receives and processes sensations of smell and hearing
- Parietal lobe processes visual information
- Occipital lobe processes visual information
- Midbrain:
- Acts as a connector between the forebrain and hindbrain
- Hindbrain:
- Includes cerebellum, pons, and medulla oblongata
- Cerebellum controls balance and voluntary movements
- Pons helps regulate respiration
- Medulla oblongata controls involuntary functions like heart rate, breathing
Spinal Cord
- Cylindrical structure protected by the vertebral column (spine)
- Contains 31 pairs of spinal nerves that connect the brain to the body
- Helps conduct nerve impulses to and from the brain
Reflex Actions
- Involuntary, rapid responses to stimuli
- Sensory receptors detect the stimulus and send signals through sensory neurons to the spinal cord
- Relay neurons in the spinal cord pass the signal to motor neurons
- Motor neurons trigger a response in the effector organ
- Examples include the knee-jerk reflex and withdrawal reflex when touching something hot

Neuron Structure and Function
- Neurons are the basic units of the nervous system
- A neuron has three main parts:
- Dendrites: receive signals
- Soma: the main body of the neuron, where signals are converted to electrical
- Axon: transmits electrical signals to the next neuron
- Neurons convert chemical signals to electrical signals and transmit them to other neurons
Types of Neurons
- Sensory neurons: transmit signals from receptors to the CNS
- Motor neurons: transmit signals from the CNS to muscles and glands
- Interneurons: connect sensory and motor neurons
Neuromuscular Junction
- Motor neuron ends are connected to muscles
- This connection is called a neuromuscular junction
- It helps muscles receive signals from motor neurons
