coordination and response in humans Flashcards
sensitivity- coordinated responses
1- STIMULUS= a change that can be detected
2- RECEPTOR= cells/ organs capable of detecting the change
3- COMMUNICATION= messages sent from receptors to effectors by nerves or hormones
4- EFFECTOR= muscles or glands that bring about the response
5- REPONSE= a reaction to the change
the nervous system
homeostasis
–
responses controlled by nervous communication
–
responses controlled by hormonal communication
the central nervous system
–
stimulation of receptors in the sense organs sends electrical impulses along nerves into and out of the CNS, resulting in rapid responses
–
structure and functioning of a simple reflex arc
–
the structure and function of an eye as a receptor
–
the sources, roles and effects of the hormones- ADH adrenaline insulin testosterone progesterone oestrogen
