The part of the nervous system comprising the brain and the spinal cord.

The part of the nervous system comprising the cranial nerves connecting the brain to the senses and internal organs and the spinal nerves connecting the spinal cord to the muscles.

A signal that travels through the nervous system, carrying information from one part of the body to another.

Actions that are consciously controlled by the brain, like walking, talking, or writing.

Actions that happen automatically without conscious control, like breathing or your heart beating.

A rapid, automatic response to a stimulus, often involving the spinal cord, like pulling your hand away from a hot stove.

The part of the brain stem responsible for controlling involuntary functions like breathing, heart rate, and digestion.

The process by which the nervous system coordinates body functions to maintain a stable internal environment, such as regulating body temperature.

Tiny nodules on the tongue's surface that contain taste buds.

Specialized sensory cells within taste buds that detect flavors.

The ability of plants to respond to stimuli, with growth towards or away from the stimulus.

A plant's response to light, with growth towards the light source.

A plant's response to water, with growth towards water.

A plant's response to gravity, with roots growing downwards and stems growing upwards.

A plant's response to touch, with growth towards or away from physical contact.

The outer layer of skin, providing a protective barrier.

The growth of a plant's shoot in the opposite direction of gravity, allowing it to reach sunlight for photosynthesis.

The ability of animals with two eyes to see depth and distance by using the difference in images received by each eye.

The wide field of view provided by animals with one eye focused forward, allowing them to see a larger area of their surroundings.

The growth of plant roots towards water, ensuring access to a vital resource for survival.

A plant's response to touch, regardless of the direction of the stimulus.

Both eyes are located at the front of the head, providing a narrow field of view but allowing for depth perception.

Eyes are located on the sides of the head, giving a wider field of view but limited depth perception.

Hearing with both ears, allowing us to determine sound direction accurately.

Different organisms can perceive sounds at different frequencies.

The ability to sense and respond to stimuli is crucial for survival, allowing organisms to find food, avoid predators, and adapt to their environment.

The retina at the back of the eye receives light and sends signals to the brain for image interpretation.

The eardrum vibrates when sound waves enter the ear, initiating the process of hearing.

Changes in surroundings that humans perceive.

Organs that detect stimuli, like eyes, ears, nose, skin, and tongue.

The colored part of the eye that controls the amount of light entering the pupil.

The opening in the center of the iris that allows light to enter the eye.

The transparent lens in the eye that focuses light onto the retina.

The layer at the back of the eye that detects light and converts it into nerve impulses.

The part of the retina that is most sensitive to light, with many photoreceptors.

The part of the retina where the optic nerve exits, lacking photoreceptors, making it insensitive to light.

The part of the ear that collects and directs sound waves into the ear canal.

The tube that carries sound waves from the earlobe to the eardrum.

A thin membrane that vibrates according to sound waves and transmits the vibrations to the ossicles.

Three small bones in the middle ear that amplify and transmit sound vibrations to the oval window.

A membrane that collects and transmits sound vibrations from the ossicles to the cochlea.

A spiral-shaped chamber in the inner ear responsible for converting sound vibrations into nerve impulses.

Fluid-filled tubes in the inner ear that sense head movements and help maintain balance.

The nerve that carries nerve impulses from the cochlea to the brain for interpretation.

Sensory cells located at the roof of the nasal cavity that detect smells.

A thin layer of mucus covering sensory cells for smell, dissolving odor molecules for detection.
