rvs alan eedarervevoriiThe working together of the various organs of an organism in a Systemmatic manner so as to produce proper
response to the stimulus, is called coordination.
Stimuli: The change in the environment to which the organism respond and react are called stimuli
Receptor: A receptor is a cell (or a group of cells) in a sense organ which is sensitive to a particular
type of stimulus.
Light - Photoreceptors
Sound - Phonoreceptors
smell - olfactory receptors

+ At the end of the axon, the electrical impulses sets off the release of chemical, cross the gap or Synapse
and start a similar electrical impulses in a dendrite of the next neuron.
Nervous tissue:- 1s made up of an organised network of nerve cells or neurons, and is specialised for
conducting information via electrical impulses from one part of the body.to another.aediail NA: Sugar tastes same whether nose closed or open
Food tastes different when we close the nose while eating.
Explanation: when we bring food to our mouth, sensory organs inside the tongue and nose receives the
sensory signal. Our brain interprets the signal and tells us about the food. By this, we can know the type of
food, and we can even guess the name. When we eat sugar sweet sensor present in the tongue tell us it is sugar.
Since there is no smell in sugar, we do not feel any difference in the taste even if our nose is closed. But when
we taste different food ingredient, there, is smell part also. The food contains various volatile components like
volatile oil in fennel, clove, volatile ester in fruits. When our nose is closed, our brain receives the signal only
from taste buds. As a result, the taste feels different. The impact is such that many people can not guess the
food if their eyes and nose are closed while eating.
Inference/Conclusion
This experiment demonstrates that taste and smell both help the brain in interpreting the food.
ete iS two specialised tissues that provide control and coordination in multicellular organisms.

(2) Muscular tissue
Question: Name the sensory receptors found in the nose and on the tongue.
Answer: olfactory and Gustatory receptors:
Question: Name the part of neuron
(i) where information is acquired
(Wi) through which information travels as in electrical impulses
Answer: The information is acquired at the end of the dendrite tip of a nerve cell.
The information travels as in electrical impulse from dentrite to the cell body and then along the axon to its
end.
Synapse: A microscopic gap between a pair of adjacent neurons over which nerve impulses pass when going
from one neuron to the next.
Reflex action:- The simplest form of response in the nervous system is reflex actions.
Reflex are:= the pathway taken by nerve impulses in a reflex action is called the reflex are.
Reflex AreSensory neuronsi- transmit impulses from the sensory cell ( or receptor ) towards the central nervous
system. ( Spinal cord and brain ),
Motor neurons:- transmit impulses from the central nervous system towards the muscle cells (effectors).
Relay neurons:= occurs in the central nervous system where they serve as links between other neurons.
: State the role of the brain in reflex action.

Answer: spinal cord
It involves autonomic nervous system.
They occur in response to internal stimuli
They are connected with the functioning of internal body parts.
It occur without the will of the organism eg., heartbeat, breathing, ete.
These are regulated by medulla oblongata (hind brain).
Reflex are
It envolves all parts of voluntary nervous system though they are not voluntary
They operate against harmful stimuli which are generally external.
They are connected with emergency ie., response to its stimuli
Some reflexes involve the brain, rather than the spinal cord.
Reflex action is generally controlled by spinal cord.

oblonga.It includes the brain and the Spinal cord. It receives information from the body and sends out instruction to
particular organ. The brain has three such major parts or regions namely the forebrain, mid brain and hind
brain.
The forebrain is the main thinking part of the brain. It consist of the cerebrum and diencephalon. The
cerebrum is the seat of memory and intelligence, and of Sensory centres like hearing, smell and sight. The
diencephalon is the seat for pressure and pain.
The midbrain connect the forebrain to the hindbrain and controls the reflexes for sight and hearing.
The hindbrain consist of the cerebellum, pons and medulla, The medulla contral Involuntary activities like
blood pressure, salivation, vomiting and heartbeat. Cerebellum —> Balance
The spinal cord extends from the medulla of the brain through ‘the whole length of the vertebral column and is
protected by the vertebral column or backbone.
The communication between the central nervous system and the other parts of the body is facilitated by the
peripheral nervous system,
It consist of the cranial and spinal nerves arises from the brain and spinal cord respectively.
Human. brain is protected by the thick bones of the skull and a fluid called cerebrospinal fluid which provide
further shock absorption.

Human BrainHow does the nervous tissue cause action?
When a nerve impulses reaches the muscle the muscle fibre must move. The muscle cell move by changing
their Shape so that they shorten. Muscle cells have special protein (actin and myosin) that change both their
shape and their arrangement in the cell in response to nerves electrical impulses. When this happens new
arrangement of these proteins give the muscle cells a shorter form.

All living thing respond to environmental Stimuli. Plants also respond to Stimuli with the help of chemical
compounds, secreated by the cells. Plants being living organism, exhibit some movements. Plants show two
different types of movement - one dependent on growth and the other independent of growth.
The plant also use chemical means to convey this information from cell to cell but there is no specialised tissue
in plants for the conduction of information. Plant respand to stimuli slowly by growing in a particular
direction. Because this growth is directional it appear as if the plant is moving.
Directional movement:- These are also called as tropic movement. These movement can be either towards
tthe stimulus or away from it
+ Positive phototropism is seen in Shoot which respond by bending towards light
+ Negative geotropism is seen in shoots by growing away from the ground.
+ Roots bend away from light exhibiting negative phototropism.
+ They grow towards the ground exhibiting positive geotropism.
+ Hydrotropism is a growth in which the direction is determine by the stimuli of water.
+ Chemotropism is a growth response in which the part in response to chemical stimulus e.g, growth of
pollen tube toward ovules.
Question: How do auxin promote the growth of a tendril around us support?
Answer: When tendrils come in contact with any support, the part of the tendril in contact with the object
does not grow as rapidly as the part of the tendril away from the object. This is caused by the action of auxin
hormone. Less auxin occurs on the side of contact as compared to the free side. As a result, auxin promotes
growth on the free side and the tendrils coil around the support.Harmones are the chemical compounds released by stimulated cells. Hormones diffuse all around the cell. They
are synthesised at places away from where they act and simply diffuse to the area of action. Different plant
harmone help to coordinate growth, development and response to the environment. Different harmony
secreation, by the plants are auxins, gibberellius, Cytokinins, abscisic acid.
Ausins: are the harmones synthesis at the tip of the stem. These help the plant in growth by cell elongations.
Ausin induced sheot apical dominance.
Gribberelliness: are hormones that help in the growth of the stem, seed germination, bolting and flowering,
Gytokinins: are hormones present in the areas of rapid cell division, such as fruit and seeds. They also promote
the opening of the Stomata.
Abscisic acid: is « hormone that inhibits the growth in various parts. It is also responsible for the closure of
Stomata. It effects include wilting of leaves
‘Obtervation: Upper part of the plant (shoot) bend towards the light while its root moves away from light.
Explanation: Plants does not have @ nervous system or nerve fibres, they show response towards change in
the environment chemically
Shoot exposed to light form auxin. Ausin now diffuses to the unexposed part of the shoot.
Auxin has growth promoting characteristic in stems. It induces growth in the unexposed parts. As a result,
the plant bends toward the light
Auxin has an inhibitory action on the root. As a result, root bends away from the light
lusion:
+ Plant stem grows toward the light. We call this phenomenon as positive phototropism.
+ Plant root grows away from the light.

Question: Why is the use of iodised salt advisable?
Answer: lodine is necessary for the thyroid gland to make thyroxin hormone. Thyroxin regulates
carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism in the body so as to provide the best balance for growth. 'f
iodine is deficient in our diet, there is a possibility that we might suffer from goitre. The thyroid gland
enlarges causing swelling in the neck. lodised common salt contains proper content of iodine. Thus, to avoid
deficiency of iodine, iodised salt is recommended,
Question: How does our body respond when adrenaline is secreted into the blood?
Answer: Adrenaline hormone is secreted in large amounts when person is rightened, or mentally disturbed.
When it reaches the heart, it beats faster to supply more oxygen to our muscles. The breathing rate also
increases because of the contractions of diaphragm and the rib muscles. It also raises the blood pressure,
and allows more glucose to enter into the blood, All these responses together enable our body to deal with
the emergency situations.
Question: Why ave some patients or diabetes treated by giving injections of insulin?
Answer: Diabetes is caused due to less or no secretion or hormone insulin by pancreas. In such a person,
blood sugar level is high. Insulin converts extra sugar present in blood Into glycogen. Thus, patients uttering
from diabetes ave given insulin injection to control their blood sugar level.
Question: How does feedback mechanism regulate the hormone secretion?
Answer: The feedback mechanism regulates the timing and amount of hormone to be secreted, e.g. it a
person has more sugar in his blood, this is detected by the cells of the pancreas. As a result, more insulin will
be secreted to oxidise the sugar. In a reverse situation, the secretion of insulin will be reducedQuestion: Which of the following statements is correct about receptors?
(a) Gustatory receptors detect taste while olfactory receptors detect smell
(b) Both gustatory and olfactory receptors detect smell
(c) Auditory receptors detect smell and olfactory receptors detect taste
(d) olfactory receptors detect taste and gustatory receptors smell

Question: "Nervous and hormonal systems together perform the function of control and coordination in
human beings.” Justify the statement.
Answer: Control and coordination in human beings is under the influence of nervous system. Brain control all
the organelles and organ system. The control is obtained by network of neurons which carry signals through.
neurotransmitter in the form of electric impulses to the brain and from the brain.
Hormonal system consist of varieties of harmones secreted by various glands in our body. Hormonal system
coordinates the function of nervous system. Hormones indirectly control the life processes by feedback
mechanism. They can produce hormones when required and can stop production when not required.
Question: How does chemical coordination take place in animals?
Answer: Chemical coordination takes place in animals through hormones produced by glands present in
animals. Hormones ave directly released into blood stream to reach the target site. Hormones control the
behavior Of the target tissue.
Example:
Adrenal gland secretes Adrenalin which reaches the heart, lungs and Gastro intestinal tract. Heart speeds up its
pumping action so that more blood could be supplied to the limbs and facial muscles. But activity of the Gl
tract is slowed down to ensure better blood supply in limbs. Thus, adrenalin prepares the body for a fight or
flight situation.
Question:Why is the flow of signals in a synapse from axonal end of one neuron to dendritic end of another
neuron but not the reverse?
Answer: Electrical impulse travels through a neuron. But to be transmitted to anotherneuronwit need to be
passed in the form of neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are specialized chemicals. They can enter a neuron
only through specialized channels. Such channels are present in dendrites but not in axon. On the ather hand, 4
neurotransmitter can enter a dendrite. Due to this, the flow of signals in a synapse is from axonal end of one
neuron to dendritic end of another neuron but not the reverse.
