Study Notes

Nervous System in Mammals

Human, elephant, and dog share a similar nervous system structure.
Components of the nervous system are interconnected to ensure efficient information transmission within the body.
No part of the nervous system operates independently; collaboration is essential for functionality.

Sensory Organs

Sensory organs play a crucial role in receiving information from the environment.
The brain processes visual information faster than auditory information, highlighting the dominance of sight in perception.

Memory and Reflex Actions

Memory in the brain influences responses, such as recognizing familiar smells (e.g., pizza).
Certain messages and reflexes are processed rapidly by the brain, often without conscious realization.
Examples of reflex actions include involuntary functions like breathing and heartbeat regulation.
