It's made up of special tissues called nervous tissue. The worker in this system is the nerve cell or neuron. The nervous system is mainly in charge of managing and coordinating things in complex animals. Functions of the nervous system: 1. The nervous system gets information from the world around us. 2.It collects information from different parts of our body. 3.It helps us make decisions and control our muscles and glands. Neuron or Nerve cell: Neuron is a highly specialized cell which is responsible for the reneniesone nerve impulses. Call body (Cyton) Structure of a neuron The cell body, or cyton, is the main rounded part of the neuron where you find the central nucleus and cytoplasm. Dendrites are like the tree branches of the neuron's cell body. They receive and pass on signals or messages. The axon is the neuron's long part that carries messages away from the cell body. It's protected by a covering called the myelin sheath. Nerve endings are like tiny branches at the ends of neurons, and they send electrical signals to other neurons.PRASHANT KIRAD Working of a neuron: se 1. The neuron gets information from receptors as an electrical signal at the start of its dendrite. 2. This signal travels from the dendrite to the cell body and then all the way to the tip of the axon. 3.Between two neurons, there's a small gap known as a synapse. Special chemicals bridge this gap to transmit the same signal to the next neuron. 4.At the end of the axon, electrical signals trigger the release of these chemicals. A synapse is where the end branches of one neuron's axon connect with the dendrite of another neuron. * Transmission of nerve impulse;.Nerve impulses travel in the following manner fro @ neutron to the next.

The chemicals released fromthe ip of a neuron's axon traverse the synapse or neuromuscular jdpiction to connect with the adjacent cell.He cewreat NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) | The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord. The brain controls bodily functions, while the spinal cord relays signals between the brain and the peripheral nervous system. Human brain: AT SERVES AS THE CENTRAL COORDINATION HUB 0 YY, EMPOWERING AN ORGANISM TO BOTH THI 1D ACT. Three Regions of Brain * Fore-brain: Lt is composed of the cerebrum. * Mid-brain: It is-eomposed of the hypothalamus. © Hind-brait mposed of the cerebellum, pons, medulla, oblongata. Forebrain: The largest and primary cognitive region of the brain responsible for receiving sensory impulses. Its components include: 1.Cerebrum: Shaped like a dome, it serves as the brain's uppermost structure and functions as the primary thinking center. Responsible for tasks such as reasoning, speech, and information processing. * The cerebrum controls voluntary motor actions. « It is the site of sensory perceptions, like tactile and auditory perceptions. * It is the seat of learning and memory.PRASHANT KIRAD. 2. Lobes * Frontal- controls voluntary movements of muscles, memory, and speech Parietal- a sense of touch and taste. Temporal- a sense of smell and hearing. Occipital- a sense of vision. Midbrain: The inclusion of the hypothalamus defines its composition. Hypothalamus: It lies at the base of the cerebrum. It also controls the urges for eating and drinking. It controls sleep and wake cycle of the body. Hindbrain: Serving as the link between the spinal cord and the rest of the brain, it consists of three distinct parts. 1.

Plant Hormones Functions © Auxin Helps in the growth of plant tissues © Cytokinin Promotes cell division, delays ageing of cells Gibberellins Facilitates stem growth, triggers seed germination, stimulates flowering, supports cell division, and fosters seed development post- germination. Abscisic acid Suppresses growth, induces wilting of leaves, encourages bud and seed dormancy. QQ Ethylene This is a gas hormone responsible for fruit ripening.

These responses occur in reaction to environmental stimuli, and the direction of the response is influenced by the direction of the stimulus.

Positive geotropism refers to growth towards gravity, while negative geotropism involves growth away from gravity. Roots exhibit positive geotropism by growing towards gravity, while shoots display negative geotropism by growing away from gravity. Phototropism: The response of plant parts s to light is termed phototropism. Positive phototropism involves movement towards light, while negative phototropism entails movement away from light. Stems exhibit positive phototropism by moving towards the light, while roots demonstrate negative phototropism byte oY o i Hydrotropism: Movement of, ‘+ parts in ving away from the response towater or moisture. Positive hydrotroptem epyfives movement towards water, while negative hydrotropism entails movement away from water. Root movement in search af water is an example of positive hydrotropism, as seen in the movement of roots towards areas with high humidity. Chemotropism: The response of plant parts to chemical stimuli is termed chemotropism. Positive chemotropism involves movement towards a chemical stimulus, while negative chemotropism entails movement away from a chemical stimulus. The growth of the pollen tube towards the ovule exemplifies positive chemotropism. Thigmotropism: Movement of plant parts in response to touch is called as thigmotropism. Positive thigmotropism involves movement towards touch, while negative thigmotropism entails movement away from touch. The movement of tendrils around a support is an example of positive thigmotropism.PRASHANT KIRAD. # THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM saan wer area e Exocrine Glands: Exocrine glands release their secretions through ducts that open onto an epithelial surface. ¢ Endocrine Glands Endocrine glands are ductless glands that release hormones directly into the bloodstream in humans.
