Q

How do glands respond as effector organs?

A

The secrete (release) chemicals

18
Q

How do impulses pass from the receptor to the effector organs?

A
  1. Receptor detects stimuli
  2. Electrical impulses pass from receptor to CNS via sensory neurones
  3. Electrical impulses pass from CNS to effector organs via motor neurones
19

React to their surroundings and coordinates behaviour

20
Q
