What is sensitivity?
Ability to detect changes in environment and respond
What is meant by stimuli?
Changes that stimulates responds
What are types of stimuli?
Internal and external
What is receptors?
Sensory cells
What is meant by coordination?
stimuli detection process by receptors that ends with apppropriate response by effectors
What is response?
The way organism react after detect stimuli
What are the types of receptors?
Photoreceptor Baroreceptor Chemoreceptor Nocireceptor Mechanoreceptor
Photoreceptor
Light
Baroreceptor
Change in pressure
Thermoreceptor
Change in temperature
Mechanoreceptor
Touch and pressure
Nocireceptor
Pain
Why is coordination response important for living organism?
To adapt changes in environment
Why is coordination response important for animal?
A sudden change of climate motivates animal to look for shelter
What is nervous system made up of?
Neurons
What is main component for central nervous system?
Brain and spinal cord
What is main components for peripheral nervous system?

What are the main components of brain?
Cerebrum Cerebellum Hypothalamus Medulla oblongata Pituitary gland
What is the largest and most complex structure of brain?
Cerebrum
Why is surface of cerebrum is folded?
To increase surface area to hold more nerves
What is the function of cerebrum?
- Control emotions,hearing and sights
- Higher mental abilities for learning, mathematical and linguistic skills
What is function of cerebellum?
Maintains body coordinates of muscle contraction for body movement
What is function of hypothalamus?

Where is pituitary gland located at?
Base of hypothalamus
What does pituitary gland do?
Secretes hormones
What is the function of medulla oblongata?
Controls involuntary activities
Where does medulla oblongata located at?
Anterior of cerebellum
What are the mains for spinal cord
Dorsal root
