Control and Coordination
Control and Coordination
Control and coordination in organisms involves two main systems:
Coordination in Animals
- Nervous System: Consists of neurons and is responsible for transmitting signals.
- Endocrine System: Involves hormones that regulate various functions.
Coordination in Plants
- Plant Movements: Changes due to environmental factors.
- Plant Hormones: Growth regulators that affect plant behavior.
Basic Terms
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Stimulus | Any change that triggers a response in an organism. |
| Receptors | Cells or organs that receive the stimulus. |
| Effector | Tissues, glands, or muscles that act in response to stimuli. |
| Response | The reaction of an organism to a stimulus. |
Basic Sensory Receptors in Humans
| Receptor | Sense Organ | Stimuli |
|---|---|---|
| Photoreceptors | Eyes | Light |
| Olfactory receptors | Nose | Smell |
| Gustatory receptors | Tongue | Taste |
| Phonoreceptors | Ear | Sound |
| Thermoreceptors | Skin | Heat/Cold |
| Nociceptors | Skin | Pain |
Example of Response
- Stimulus: Heat
- Receptor: Thermoreceptor
- Effector: Hand muscle

Neuron Structure
- Dendrites: Collect information.
- Cell Body: Contains the nucleus and organelles.

Synapse
- Gap between two neurons where signals are transmitted.
Nerve Impulse
