Control and Coordination - Class 10 Science Notes

1. Control and Coordination in Animals:

- Controlled by the nervous system and endocrine system.

- Nervous System includes Brain, Spinal Cord, and Nerves.

- Neuron is the structural and functional unit.

- Reflex action: Immediate response to stimulus without thinking.

- Synapse: A gap between two neurons that transmits signals.

2. Human Nervous System:

- Central Nervous System: Brain and spinal cord.

- Brain has 3 major parts:

a. Forebrain - thinking, memory, sensory processing.

b. Midbrain - relays information.

c. Hindbrain - balance and coordination (cerebellum), involuntary actions (medulla).

3. Coordination in Plants:

- No nervous system, but respond to stimuli through growth and movement.

- Tropic Movements: Directional movements (e.g., phototropism, geotropism).

- Nastic Movements: Non-directional responses (e.g., touch-me-not leaves folding).

4. Hormonal Coordination in Animals:

- Hormones are chemical messengers secreted by endocrine glands.

- Major glands: Pituitary, Thyroid, Adrenal, Pancreas, etc.

- Functions:

a. Pituitary - master gland, controls other glands.


b. Thyroid - controls metabolism (thyroxine).

c. Adrenal - fight or flight (adrenaline).

d. Pancreas - regulates sugar (insulin and glucagon).

5. Importance of Control and Coordination:

- Helps organisms respond and adapt to changes in the environment.

- Ensures proper functioning of body systems.
