Multicellular organism Flashcards
What is the medulla
Controls heart rate and breathing
Cerebellum
Controls movement and balance
Cerebrum
Controls conscious thoughts and actions
What are endocrine glands
Pancreas
Ovaries
Testes
What are synapses
What do they do
Chemicals diffuse across the gap to carry the impulses from one neutron to another
Factors that affect transpiration
Wind speed
Humidity
Temperature
Surface area
Process of fertilisation
Fertilisation is when the nuclei of 2 haploid gamete’s fuse together to form a diploid zygote which divides to form an embryo
2 responses to stimuli
Rapid (action from a muscle)
Slower ( from a gland by release of a chemical)
Hierarchy of organ systems
Cells-> tissues-> organs-> organ systems
The central nervous systems is made up of
Brain and spinal cord
Neurons
Informations passes along neurons through electrical impulses
Sensory
Carry’s info from sensory receptors to CNS
Inter
Carry i for between sensory and motor neurons within the CNS
Motor
Carry info from CNS to effectors( muscles or glands)
