    Study Notes

    Nervous System and Its Functions

    • The primary function of the nervous system is to transmit signals between different parts of the body, allowing for communication and coordination of actions.
    • It plays a crucial role in processing sensory information, controlling motor functions, and maintaining homeostasis.

    Coordination and Balance

    • The cerebellum, located at the back of the brain, is responsible for coordination and balance, enabling smooth and precise movements.

    Endocrine System's Role

    • The endocrine system complements the nervous system in coordination by secreting hormones that regulate various physiological processes, including growth, metabolism, and response to stress.
    • Hormones act as chemical messengers, influencing activities in distant organs and tissues.

    Characteristics of Metals

    • Metals are typically characterized by their ability to conduct electricity and heat, malleability, ductility, and high density.
    • They usually have a shiny appearance and are solid at room temperature, except for mercury.

    Properties of Non-Metals

    • A common property of non-metals is their poor conductivity of heat and electricity, often resulting in them being insulators.
    • Non-metals are usually brittle in solid form and can exist in different states: gases (like oxygen), liquids (like bromine), or solids (like sulfur).

    Formation of Positive Ions

    • Elements located on the left side of the periodic table, predominantly metals, are likely to form positive ions (cations) by losing electrons during chemical reactions.
