COORDINATION AND RESPONSE

COORDINATION AND RESPONSE

1. An organism experiences changes in its internal and external environments all the time 2. The changes which cause responses in the body are called stimuli 3. There are two types of stimuli: a) internal b) external 4. Mammals detect stimuli through highly specialised sensory cell called receptor. 5. Effectors in the body carry out the responses to

COORDINATION AND RESPONSE

5. When the stimuli are detected and eventually resort in an appropriate response, it is called coordination 6. The roles of coordination and response are carried out by two different coordinating systems, namely the nervous system and the endocrine system

puteri5578

Cerebrum
Divided into two halves called the cerebral hemispheres (left and right) It is responsible for many mental abilities

Cerebellum
Coordinating centre for body movements Evaluates the information and relays the need for coordinated movements back to the cerebrum Then sends appropriate commands to the muscle
puteri5578 10

Medulla oblongata
Regulates the internal body processes that do not requires conscious effort, that is, automatic functions such as the heart beat and breathing. Reflex centre for vomiting, coughing, sneezing, hiccupping and swallowing.

Hypothalamus
Important role in homeostatic regulation. Control centre of the endocrine system
puteri5578 11

Pituitary gland
Secretes hormones that influence other glands and body function Controls the release of several hormones from the pituitary gland and thereby serve as important link between the nervous and endocrine system.

Thalamus
Responsible for sorting the incoming and outgoing information in the cerebral cortex Integrates the information from the sensory puteri5578 12 receptor to the cerebrum by enhancing certain

The spinal cord and its function

1. Contain within the vertebral column 2. It is consist of white matter and grey matter a) in cross section, grey matter looks like a butterfly or the letter H b) consist mainly of cell bodies of neurones c) surrounded by white matter d) the white matter comprises myelin-coated axons of neurones that extend the whole length of the spinal cord

The neurones
The nervous system is made up of millions of nerve cells called neurones Neurones transmit nerve impulses to other nerve cells, glands or muscles
puteri5578 15

Types of neurones
Neurones afferent (sensory) Carry sensory information from receptor cell to the brain and spinal cord.

Types of neurones
Neurones efferent carry information from the brain or spinal cord to the effectors, that is the muscle or gland cells
puteri5578 17

Types of neurones
Interneurones convey nerve impulses between the various parts of the brain and spinal cord, transmit nerve impulses between afferent and efferent
puteri5578 18

The transmission of information across synapses

Synapse is the site where two neurons, or a neuron and a effector cell communicate. The transmission of information across a synapse involve the conversion of electrical signals in the form of neurotransmitter The function of synapses include controlling and integrating the nerve impulses transmitted by the stimulated receptors
puteri5578 19

Voluntary action and involuntary action

The PNS has two main function 1. It transmits signal to the CNS for processing 2. It transmits responses from the CNS to the rest of the body Voluntary actions such as walking and talking are under conscious control Involuntary actions that involve skeletal muscle allows immediate action that does not require conscious effort puteri5578 20

 For example, if a finger touch a hot stove, the reaction is to pull the finger immediately without having to think about it In such circumstance when the responses to stimuli are involuntary, they are called reflexes. The nerve pathway involved in a reflex action is called a reflex arc The effectors involved in involuntary action are smooth muscle and cardiac muscle

Diseases of the nervous system

Parkinsons disease
Is a progressive disorder of a CNS that typically affect victims around the age of 60 years onwards. Parkinsons disease affect muscular movements, causing tremors or trembling of the arms, jaws legs and face Patients also have difficulty in maintaining normal postures and experience impaired 22 puteri5578

Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder which affect victims around the age of 60yearsonwards, causes the loss of reasoning and the ability to care for oneself. Individual of Alzheimer's disease often become confuse, forgetful, and lose their way although they are in place which are familiar to them. As their mind continue to deteriorate, patients may lose the ability to read, write, eat, walk and talk. puteri5578 23 the cause of this disease still unknown, but the

The role of hormone in human

Endocrine system consists of a number of glands that secrete hormones. Hormones are the chemical messenger produce by the endocrine glands. Although the hormones travel in the blood of the body, they affect and influence only the specific target cell. Once the hormone binds to its target cell, the hormone cause the cell to respond in the specific manner.

Regulation of hormones secretion

The pituitary gland is regarded as the master endocrine gland because it secrete several hormones that control other endocrine gland Pituitary gland itself controlled by the hypothalamus. Pituitary gland consist of two parts: a) posterior pituitary b) anterior pituitary The posterior pituitary contains the axons and synaptic terminals of the neurosecretory cells puteri5578 28 that originate in the hypothalamus

The role of the hypothalamus in regulating the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland

Anterior pituitary Anterior pituitary

ADH
Kidney tubules

oxytocin
Smooth muscle in the uterus

ACTH
Adrenal cortex

Growth TSH FSH & LHhormones prolactin

Thyroid Ovaries, testes puteri5578 Bones, tissues Mammary 29 glands

 ADH and axytocin are synthesised in the neurosecretory cells of the hypothalamus but secrete by the posterior pituitary The hypothalamus controls the hormone secretion of the anterior pituitary gland and therefore, affect the secretion of many other endocrine glands indirectly. The anterior pituitary controls the secretions of hormones from the thyroid gland, the adrenal gland and gonad. All

Negative feedback mechanism in hormone regulation

HYPOTHALAMUS Thyroid-releasing Hormone, TRH
Negative feedback inhibits the release of TRH Stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete TSH

ANTERIOR PITUITARY Thyroid-stimulating Hormone, TSH

Stimulates the target gland to secrete Thyroxine

Negative feedback inhibits the release of TSH

TARGET GLAND Thyroxine

When the thyroxine concentration exceeds a certain level in the blood, its inhibits TRH production in the hypothalamus and TSH puteri5578 production from the anterior pituitary

HOMEOSTASIS IN HUMAN
Homeostasis is the maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment. Physical factor such as body temperature and blood pressure while chemical factor are sugar level and osmotic pressure such as partial of carbon dioxide and oxygen The excretory system Plays an important role in homeostasis The primary organs of the excretory system are the kidneys.
puteri5578 32

Function of the kidneys

1. Helps to regulates the water and salt balance in the body by excreting more or less salt, and increasing the in take or loss of water. 2. Regulate the osmotic pressure and ionic levels in the blood 3. Excrete waste products. 4. Regulate the blood pH Waste products excreted by the kidneys are substances that are not useful to the body such as waste products from the metabolic reaction (urea, creatinine and uric acid) and foreign33 puteri5578

The human kidney

The kidneys filter the blood and form the urine which is exits the body through the ureters, urinary bladder and urethra. Urine consists of water, urea and other dissolved waste, and some excess nutrients. Human kidney has two distinct region: a) Renal cortex b) Renal medulla

Nephron perform three basic process: Ultrafiltration Reabsorption Secretion When the blood enters the glomerulus, ultrafiltration take place when the high pressure forces fluid through the filtration membrane into the capsular space The fluid that enters into the capsular space is called the glomerular filtrate glomerular filtrate contain water, glucose, amino puteri5578 acid, urea, mineral salt and other small molecule. 38

Ultrafiltration

Reabsorption
Reabsorption take place when the substance moves across the renal tubule into the capillary network. In the proximal convoluted tubule, there are abundance of mitochondria to generate ATP for the process of active transport that used to reabsorb glucose and amino acid. Solute concentration in the capillary network is increase, so that water moves into the blood capillary by osmosis 40 In the loop of Henle,puteri5578 water, sodium and

 At the distal convoluted tubule, more water, sodium and chloride ions are reabsorbed. B the time, the filtrate reaches the collecting duct, very little salt left and 99% of water has been reabsorbed into the bloodstream. Only 1% of water in the filtrate actually leaves the body as urine. Some urea diffuses out into the surrounding fluid and blood because of its small molecular size. Finally, about 45% of the original urea remain in the collecting duct to be excrete in41 puteri5578

Secretion
Not everything is filtered, only 20% of the plasma leaves the blood vessels and enters the renal tubule. Hence there are waste product in the blood which were not filtered originally. Secretion is a process in which waste and excess substances that were not initially filtered are secreted into the renal tubule. Secretion take place in the renal tubules and collecting ducts but is especially active at the distal convoluted tubule. puteri5578 42 Secretion occurs by passive diffusion and active

Notes about Kidney Dialysis:

The main stages that blood passes through during the dialysis process include:
Blood enters machine from body (under pressure from radial artery). Pump (some diagrams show a roller pump) controls pressure and flow rate. Anticoagulant added to prevent clotting. Blood passes through dialysis membrane (equivalent to kidney nephrons). Bubble Trap removes any gas bubbles from blood. Blood is filtered then returned to the patient's radial vein.

Plants hormones Plants hormones is a chemical substances which is produced by the plants and influences the growth and development of the plants. Examples auxins and ethylene Auxins Auxins controlled the plants respond to stimuli by growing in a certain direction called tropism. Growth of shoots towards sunlight is called +ve phototropism and growth of shoots away from sunlight is called -ve phototropism. Auxins promotes the elongation of cells in the shoot

The growth movement of a plant is response to gravity is called geotropism. Auxins is used to: Increase the stem length by increasing the rate of cell division Stimulate the growth of adventitious roots from the stem Parthenocarpy, produce seedless fruit Promotes growth of plants cells. Delay fruit ripening and prevent fruit from falling off the plant before it is ripe
puteri5578 52

Ethylene
Ethylene is a plant hormones which is synthesised during the ripening of fruits. The synthesis of ethylene occurs in fruits, leaves and stems Speedup the ripening of fruits by stimulating the production of cellulase that used to hydrolyses the cellulose in plants cells walls, making the fruits soft. Promotes the breakdown of complex carbohydrates into simple sugar. That is why
