control and communication

first neuron in a pathway that recieves a stimulus from a receptor

consists of brain and spinal chord

the part of the brain which controls the heart rate and breathing rate

consists of central nervous system and other nerves

it is the part of the brain which controls conscious thought, reasoning and imagination

the cell of the nervous system and other nerves

the part of the brain which controls balance and coordination

it is the second neurone in a pathway that transmits a message from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone

a muscle or gland that recieves the message from a motor neurone enabling it to respond

the arrangement of the three types of neurone

it is the last neurone in a nerve pathway that enables a response to be made by an effector

it is a sense organ that detects a stimulus and passes it on to the sensory neurone

a tiny space between two neurones over which a chemical is released to carry on the nerve impulse from one neurone to the next

it is a gland which releases glucose from glycogen breakdown if glucagon is present, it stores glucose as glycogen is insulin if present

it is a type of protein chemical messenger produced by an endocrine gland that travels through the bloodstream to cause a response elsewhere in the body

a hormone produced by the pancreas when glucose is high

a gland that produces and releases hormones

it is a protein molecule on the surface of target cells that binds specifically to a hormone to carry out a specific response

it is a hormone produced by the pancreas when glucose is low, it stimulates the breakdown of glycogen to glucose in the liver

it is the storage carbohydrate produced in the liver from glucose

it is the cell which a hormone will bind to by a specific receptor to carry out its action

it is the endocrine gland which releases insulin and glucagon

sending, receiving, and interpreting information from all parts of the body

it monitors internal organ functions and responds to changes in the external environment
