Study Notes
Brain and Muscle Coordination
- The cerebellum coordinates muscle movements and maintains posture.
- It ensures smooth and balanced physical activity through motor control.
Nervous System Function
- The primary function of the nervous system is to transmit signals between different parts of the body, facilitating communication and response to stimuli.
Endocrine System Role
- The endocrine system regulates bodily functions by releasing hormones into the bloodstream, coordinating long-term processes such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
Sensory Neuron Function
- A sensory neuron functions by transmitting sensory information from receptors to the central nervous system for processing and response.
Cerebellum's Role in Movement
- The cerebellum is primarily responsible for the coordination of voluntary movements, balance, and motor learning.
Pituitary Gland Hormones
- Examples of hormones produced by the pituitary gland include growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and adrenocorticotropic hormone; however, insulin is not produced by the pituitary gland.
