    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.
