Q

Where are sensory receptors found

A

Sense organs

16
Q

Sense organs

A
Eye
Ear
Tongue
Nose 
Skin
17
Q

Sense muscles

A

Pressure
Temperature
Pain

18
Q

Reflexes: breathing

A

The reflex takes place

Impulses travel to the unconscious brain

19
Q

neurone

A

A nerve cell
Cell body + dendrites + an axon
Carry electrical impulses

20
Q

Nerve

A

Neurones together

21
Q

Synapse

A

The gap where a neurone end and another begins

22
Q

How synapses work

A

Electrical nerve impulse cannot cross the gap
Chemical transmitters are released
These diffuse across the gap

23
Q

Human central nervous system (CNS)

A

Brain+spinal cord, gives rapid response to stimuli

24
Peripheral nervous system
Runs all over the body | Spinal nerves +cranial(brain) nerves
25
CNS steps
``` Stimulus Receptor Coordination Effector Response ```
26
Coordination
Multicellular organisms have nervous and hormonal coordination and central systems
27
Sensory neurone
Carry information from sense organs to the CNS
28
Motor neurones
Carry instructions from the CNS to the effector organs
29
Nerves
Sensory Motor Mixed
30
Reflex actions
Do not involve conscious though
31
Reflex steps
``` Stimulus Receptor Sensory neurone Relay neurone in CNS motor neurone Effector Response ```
