Key Topics to Revise

1

Introduction to Control and Coordination

  • Movement in organisms can be due to growth (like seedling growth) or independent of growth (like animal locomotion)
  • Controlled movement is a response to environmental changes for the organism's advantage
  • All movement requires recognition of environmental events followed by appropriate responses
2

Nervous System in Animals

  • Nervous tissue consists of organized networks of neurons specialized for conducting electrical impulses
  • Neurons have dendrites (receive information), cell body, and axon (transmit impulses)
  • Information travels as electrical impulses from dendrite to cell body to axon
3

Reflex Actions

  • Reflex actions are automatic, involuntary responses to stimuli without conscious thinking
  • They provide quick responses to potentially dangerous situations
  • Reflex arc is the pathway taken by nerve impulses during reflex action
4
