What to Focus On

  • Control and coordination mean proper working of body parts together.
  • The nervous system gives quick control through nerve impulses.
  • The endocrine system gives chemical control through hormones.

  • Neuron means nerve cell.
  • Dendrites receive impulses.
  • The cell body contains the nucleus and cytoplasm.

  • Synapse is the junction between two neurons.
  • Neurotransmitters carry the signal across the synaptic cleft.
  • Impulse moves from one neuron to the next through the synapse.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The nervous system and endocrine system do the same job in the same way.

A neuron is the same as a nerve.

Dendrites carry impulses away from the cell body and the axon receives them.
