Overview
Neural Control and Coordination is a fundamental chapter in Biology that explains how our body maintains homeostasis through coordinated functions of organs. This chapter explores the neural system's role in detecting, receiving, and transmitting stimuli to ensure all body systems work in perfect ha
Key Concepts
Coordination is the process through
Coordination is the process through which two or more organs interact and complement each other's functions to maintain homeostasis. For example, duri
The human neural system is divided
The human neural system is divided into Central Neural System (CNS) - brain and spinal cord, and Peripheral Neural System (PNS) - all nerves connected
A neuron consists of cell body
A neuron consists of cell body (contains nucleus and Nissl's granules), dendrites (receive impulses), and axon (transmits impulses). Based on structur
Resting neurons have polarized membranes due
Resting neurons have polarized membranes due to sodium-potassium pump maintaining ionic gradients. When stimulated, sodium influx causes depolarizatio
Synapses are junctions between neurons where
Synapses are junctions between neurons where impulse transmission occurs. Electrical synapses allow direct current flow (rare in humans), while chemic
