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.
