Answer these :
Name the organs present in the nervous system of man.
The nervous system in humans consists of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sense organs.
What are efferent nerves?
Efferent nerves are responsible for carrying nerve impulses from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body, facilitating motor responses.
What are the functions of the nervous system?
The nervous system controls and coordinates various functions in the body, including sensory perception, motor responses, and the regulation of physiological processes.
Name a stimulus which you observe in your daily life.
A common stimulus is feeling heat when touching a hot surface.
What happens when your finger gets suddenly pricked?
a reflex action occurs, causing the finger to pull away involuntarily.
What are endocrine glands?
Endocrine glands are specialized organs that produce and release hormones directly into the bloodstream.
What are hormones?
Hormones are chemical substances produced by endocrine glands that regulate various physiological processes in the body.
Write the name and functions of any two plant hormones
Two plant hormones are auxins (promoting growth) and gibberellins (stimulating flowering and seed germination).
Write the function of an efferent nerve.
Efferent nerves transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands, resulting in voluntary or involuntary actions.
What are sense organs?
Sense organs, including the skin, nose, ears, tongue, and eyes, receive external stimuli and transmit sensory information to the nervous system.
Why are endocrine glands called ductless glands?
Endocrine glands are called ductless glands because they release hormones directly into the bloodstream, rather than through ducts.
Write the functions of plant hormones?
Plant hormones regulate growth, development, and responses to environmental stimuli in plants, influencing processes like seed germination, flowering, and fruit development.
