Question 1
Which part of the brain maintains posture and equilibrium of
the body ?
Question 2
What is the role of the brain in reflex action ?
Question 3
Give an example of a plant hormone that promotes growth.
Question 4
What is the difference between a reflex action and walking?
To carry out a simple function such as eating food there has to be coordination
of the eyes, hands and the mouth. The eyes have to focus on the food, the hands
have to pick it up and take it to the mouth where it will be chewed. All these
actions have to be coordinated in such a manner that they follow a particular
sequence and the action is completed. A similar mechanism is also needed for
internal functions of the body. This function is carried out by the nervous
system. It is composed of
(a) Specialised cells which can detect, receive and transmit different kinds of
stimuli. These are called neurons.
(b) Nerve fibres which are certain bundles of extended processes of nerve cells.
The individuals also have to adjust to the changing conditions around them and
vary their responses. At the same time, the internal conditions of the body
should be maintained constant. This is called homeostasis. The internal
conditions of the body are maintained at a constant by controlling the
physiology of the organisms.
(i) What will the correct sequence in which conduction of information through
nerves take place?
(ii) How homeostasis is said to maintain the equilibrium of the body?
(iii) What function does the central nervous system perform?
(iv) What happens when the dendrite tip of a nerve cell receives a signal?
