Class 10 Learn With Mansi2 minutes read

Chapter six of bio explains the nervous system's role, including the brain, spinal cord, nerves, reflexes, and sensory information processing. It highlights how neurons transmit messages through synapses, the importance of receptors in sense organs, and the coordination of reflex actions in response to stimuli.

Insights

  • The nervous system, comprising the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, controls various bodily functions, including voluntary movements, reflex actions, and cognitive processes like thinking and memory.
  • Neurons, specialized nerve cells, communicate through electrical impulses and chemicals, receiving information from receptors in sense organs to respond to external stimuli, showcasing the intricate coordination within the nervous system.

Nervous System: Control, Coordination, and Response

  • Chapter number six of bio is control and Coordination, a simple and easy chapter about taking care of small things.
  • The nervous system coordinates different organs in the body to carry out essential life functions.
  • The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves that send messages between the brain and body parts.
  • The nervous system regulates voluntary muscular activities, enables thinking, reasoning, and remembering, and controls reflex actions.
  • The human nervous system includes the central nervous system (CNS) with the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) with cranial and spinal nerves.
  • Living organisms respond to stimuli in the environment through the nervous system, with plants and animals reacting differently.
  • The animal nervous system consists of specialized nerve cells called neurons that exchange messages to ensure proper functioning.
  • Neurons have cell bodies, axons, and dendrites, with synapses connecting nerve endings between neurons.
  • Receptors in sense organs like the ears, eyes, skin, nose, and tongue help in receiving sound, light, temperature, smell, and taste, respectively.
  • Neurons function by transmitting messages through synapses and interacting with receptors in sense organs to respond to external stimuli.

Neurons: Receptors, Impulses, Reflexes, Communication, Coordination

  • Neurons have a cell body, nucleus, and axon with nerve endings inside.
  • Functions of neurons are explained, focusing on information from receptors.
  • Receptors in the ear, eyes, skin, and other parts provide information to neurons.
  • Information from receptors is converted into electrical impulses.
  • Electrical impulses travel from dendrites to the cell body and then to the end of the axon.
  • Chemicals are released at the end of the axon to transmit information to the next neuron.
  • Neurons communicate through electrical impulses and chemicals across synapses.
  • Reflex actions are sudden reactions controlled by the spinal cord, bypassing the brain.
  • Reflex arc involves stimuli being sensed by receptors, sending messages through the spinal cord to muscles for quick reactions.
  • The spinal cord coordinates reflex actions and sends messages to the brain for further processing.

Forebrain: Thinking, Memory, Decision-Making, and More

  • The forebrain is responsible for thinking processes and voluntary actions.
  • Overthinking can lead to poor decision-making due to the cerebrum's involvement.
  • The forebrain controls memory storage and retrieval of information.
  • Sensory impulses from various body parts are integrated in the forebrain.
  • The forebrain interprets sensory information and makes decisions based on stored data.
  • The cerebrum controls posture, balance, and voluntary actions like writing or walking.
  • The midbrain connects the forebrain and hindbrain, regulating actions like changing pup size.
  • The hindbrain, consisting of the cerebellum, pons, and medulla, controls reflex movements and vital functions like respiration.
  • The brain and spinal cord are protected by the cranium and vertebral column, respectively.
  • Nervous tissue coordinates with muscular tissue through nerve impulses and muscle fiber movement.

Cell Communication and Coordination in Organisms

  • Electric impulses only reach cells connected by nervous tissue, conveying information, while cells not connected to the nervous system cannot receive information or follow commands.
  • After the generation and transmission of an electrical impulse, cells require time to reset their mechanism before transmitting another impulse.
  • Sales cannot continuously create and transmit impulses due to the need for recovery time in the body.
  • Plants and animals coordinate activities differently, with animals having a nervous system for control while plants lack a nervous system and muscles.
  • Plants exhibit two types of movements in response to stimuli: independent of growth and dependent on growth.
  • Plants use electrical and chemical means to convey information between cells, with cells changing shape by altering water content for movement.
  • Touch Me Not plants demonstrate immediate reactions to stimuli, showcasing plant coordination without a nervous system.
  • Plants exhibit directional movements in response to stimuli, such as phototropism towards light and geotropism towards or away from gravity.
  • Plant hormones like auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin, and abscisic acid coordinate growth, development, and responses to the environment.
  • Animal hormones, secreted by glands into the blood, regulate activities and growth, with examples like thyroxine from the thyroid gland and growth hormone from the pituitary gland.

Hormones and Health: A Brief Overview

  • Testosterone is the hormone found in males, secreted by the testicles in the genital area, leading to changes during puberty like facial hair growth and voice deepening.
  • Estrogen is the hormone in females, secreted by the ovaries in the lower abdomen area, causing puberty changes such as breast development and menstrual cycles.
  • Iodine is crucial for the production of thyroxine hormone in the thyroid gland, regulating metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, preventing diseases like Goiter due to iodine deficiency.
  • Diabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels rise due to insufficient insulin production by the pancreas, requiring insulin injections for treatment to control blood sugar levels and manage the disease.
