Topics in Control and Coordination
1
Animals - Nervous System
- Nervous system provides control and coordination through electrical impulses
- Receptors detect environmental stimuli (gustatory for taste, olfactory for smell)
- Nerve impulse pathway: Dendrite → Cell body → Axon → Synapse → Next neuron
2
Coordination in Plants
- Plants lack nervous system but show two types of movements: growth-dependent and growth-independent
- Touch-me-not plant shows immediate response through water movement in cells, not growth
- Tropic movements are directional growth responses to stimuli
3
Hormones in Animals
- Hormones are chemical messengers secreted by endocrine glands directly into blood
- Endocrine system provides chemical coordination alongside nervous system
