Q5. Write short notes on the following:
(a) Neural coordination
Answers (1)
- Coordination is a characteristic feature of living organisms. It is the process through which two or more organs interact and complement the functions of one another.
- Coordination is achieved by two ways in humans and other higher order animals—neural coordination and chemical coordination.
- Neural coordination is carried out by highly specialised cells called neurons.
- The neural system is a network of point-to-point connections between the neurons and the organs and it operates through nerve impulses.
- Neural coordination is always between the stimulus and the response—receptors and effectors.
- All body functions are carried out and controlled by neural coordination.
- The stimulus is received from organs such as the skin and a response is generated which is sent to the muscles or glands.
- The previous stimulus is always stored in memory by the neural system.
- Neural coordination helps in controlling and harmonising voluntary actions such as running, walking, writing and talking.
- It helps us to remember, analyse, think and reason because the brain, a part of the neural system, is the site of intelligence.
- All vital functions such as breathing, working of the heart and digestion are controlled by neural coordination.
- It helps maintain homeostasis by coordinating between various metabolic activities of the body.
