    Study Notes

    Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

    • The main function of the ANS is to regulate involuntary actions, such as heart rate, breathing, and digestion.

    Nervous System

    • The peripheral nervous system (PNS) includes nerves originating from peripheral nerves and spinal nerves.
    • The nervous system consists of specialized tissues responsible for providing control and coordination in animals.
    • The Central Nervous System (CNS) integrates and processes information from sensory receptors and sends responses to effector organs.
    • The nervous system regulates voluntary muscular activities through the CNS.

    Nerve Impulses

    • The unit of the nervous system responsible for transmitting nerve impulses is the neuron.
    • Neurons do not divide after their formation.
    • The role of synapses is to facilitate the transmission of nerve impulses between neurons.
    • A nerve impulse is a wave of electrical activity that travels along the length of a neuron.

    Hormones

    • The 3F hormone (not specified in the text) has a main function that is not mentioned.
    • Progesterone is responsible for stimulating the uterine lining for embryo implantation.

    Plant Growth and Movement

    • Plants respond to external stimuli through growth, movement, or tropism.
    • Tendrils in climber plants exhibit tropistic movement dependent on growth.
    • Hormone secretion helps regulate blood calcium levels when they are decreased.
    • Progesterone and estrogen have a main role in regulating the female reproductive cycle.
    • Abscisic Acid (ABA) is responsible for preventing premature leaf fall.
    • Ethylene reverses the growth-promoting effects of Auxin and Gibberellins.
    • Auxin stimulates cell division and lateral branching.
    • Gibberellins promote the elongation of roots and stems but cause lateral expansion.
    • Tropism is the directional growth or movement of a plant organ in response to external stimuli.
    • Phototropism is characterized by the movement of a plant part in response to light.
    • Geotropism causes growth in plants in the direction of gravity.
    • Chemotropism is the growth of a part of a plant in response to a chemical stimulus.
    • Auxins are synthesized at the shoot tip of the plant body.
    • Plant hormones help in growth, development, and response to the environment.
