CBSE Class 10 Chapter-wise Science Notes

Control and Coordination

All the living organisms respond and react to changes in the 

environment around them.

Examples - Withdrawal of hand on touching hot object. 

Stimuli

The changes in the environment to which the organisms 

respond is called stimuli such as light, heat, cold, sound, smell, 

touch etc.

Plants and animals both respond to stimuli but in different 

manner.

Control And Coordination in ANIMALS 

It is brought about in all animals with the help of two main 

systems. 

a) Nervous System

b) Endocrine System

Nervous System

The nervous system is made of Brain, Spinal Cord and a huge 

network of Nerves.

Functions of Nervous System –

i) To receive information from environment.

ii) Controls all voluntary muscular activities. Example- running

and writing.

iii) Enables us to remember, think and reason.

iv) Regulates involuntary activities such as breathing and

beating of the heart

Receptors

- These are specialized tips of some nerve cells that detect the

information from the environment.

- These receptors are located in our sense organs.

a) Ear :

• Used in Hearing

• Help in making Balance of Body

b) Eyes :

• Photoreceptors

• Used in Seeing

Skin :

• Thermoreceptors

• Used in feeling temperature like Hot or Cold

• Touch

d) Nose :

• Olfactory receptors

• Used in Smelling

e) Tongue :

• Gustatory receptors

• Used in Tasting (Sweet or Salty)

Neuron

Structural and Functional unit of nervous system.

Parts of Neuron:

1) Dendrites -

 It receives information.

2) Cell Body -

The received information by dendrites is now traveled as an

electrical impulse by Cell Body

Axon -

It is the longest fibre on the cell of body is called Axon. It

transmits electrical impulse from cell body to dendrite of next

neuron.

Synapse

It is the gap between the nerve ending of one neuron and

dendrite of other neuron.

In this electrical signal is converted into chemical signal.

Reflex Action

Reflex action is quick, sudden and immediate response of the

body to a stimulus.

Examples - When you smell your favorite dish, your mouth waters.

Reflex Arc -

The pathway through which nerve impulses pass during reflex

action is called Reflex Arc.

Response:

Responses are of three main types –

1. Voluntary

- Controlled by Fore Brain.

- Eg. Talking, Writing.

2. Involuntary

- Controlled by mid and back brain.

- Eg. Heartbeat, Vomiting, Breathing

3. Reflex Action

- Controlled by Spinal cord.

- Eg. When you touch a hot object, you withdraw your hand

from it immediately.

Need of Reflex Actions

In some situations such as touching a hot object, pinching etc.

We need to act quickly, otherwise our body would be harmed.

Here response is generated from spinal cord instead of brain.

Human Nervous System
HUMAN BRAIN

Brain is the main coordinating centre of the body.

It has three major parts -

1) Fore (Front) – Brain

2) Mid (Middle) – Brain

3) Hind (Back) – Brain

Central Nervous System

Peripheral Nervous System

Cranial Nerves

a

rise from Brain

Spinal Cord

Brain

Spinal Nerves

arise from

Spinal Cord

Cerebrum

Cerebellum

1) Fore (Front) Brain

It is the most complex part of the brain. It consists of

Cerebrum.

Functions –

i) Thinking part of the brain

ii) Control the voluntary actions

iii) Store Information (Memory)

2) Mid (Middle) Brain

It connects the Fore (Front) – Brain with Hind (Back) – Brain

Functions –

i) Controls Involuntary actions

ii) This part of brain helps in changing Size of Pupil in our

Eyes

iii) Controls Reflex movements of Head, Neck

3) Hind (Back) Brain

It has three parts -

i) Cerebellum -

Controls posture and balance. Precision of voluntary actions

Eg. Picking
