What to Focus On
- Control and coordination maintain harmony between different body parts
- Two main systems: nervous system (electrical signals) and endocrine system (chemical signals)
- Nervous system provides rapid responses, endocrine system provides slower, sustained responses
- Made up of specialized cells called neurons
- Transmits information through electrical signals (nerve impulses)
- Central Nervous System (CNS): brain and spinal cord
- Three main parts: dendrites, cell body, and axon
- Dendrites receive impulses, axon transmits impulses
- Neurilemma provides insulation for faster transmission
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The brain controls all reflex actions in the body
Hormones and nerve impulses work at the same speed
Neurons can regenerate completely like other body cells
Memory Tips
Structure of a neuron (dendrites, cell body, axon)
Three types of neurons
Reflex arc pathway
Parts of the brain (Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Medulla)
