Co-ordination and control (5) ✅ Flashcards
what is the speed of response in the nervous system
fast
speed of responce in the hormonal system
slow ( even years)
how does it send responces
nature of responce in the nervous system
sends electrical impulses along neurons (nerve cells)
nature of responce in the hormonal system
releases hormones from glands into the blood
Put the nervous system in order:
effector, stimulus, coordinated, responce, detected by receptors
stimulus- detected by receptors - coordinated - effector - responce
what are the three types of neurones + what do they do
sensory neurones - carry sensory impulses from receptors to CNS
motor neurones- carry motor impulses to effectors such as muscles
association (connector) neurones - connect sensory and motor neurones to CNS
Name 4 adaptions of the motor neurones
branched ends
myelin sheath
long axon
nucleus
what is the function of the motor neurone having branched ends
allows connection with lots of other neurones
IA, SUI
what is the function of the motor neurone having myelin sheath
- insulated axon
- speeds up impulses
what is the function of the motor neurone having long axon
sends impulses over large distances
what is the function of the motor neurone having nucleus
controls cells activity
label
what is a voluntary action
we think abour ur, slower and we use the brain as coordinator
what is a reflex action
automatic, no thinking, faster and spinal cord is coordinator, protects body from damage
