    COMPARE AND

    CONTRAST PROCESS IN
    PLANTS AND ANIMALS:
    CHEMICAL AND NERVOUS
    CONTROL

    The nervous system gathers
    information, processes the
    information and elicits a
    corresponding response or reaction
    to the stimulus.
    The basic structural and functional
    unit of the nervous system is the
    neuron.
    The basic structural and functional unit of the nervous
    system is the neuron. Once stimulated, a neuron transmits
    electrical signals called an action potential or an impulse
    across the system and lets a body part respond accordingly.
    It contains four basic parts: dendrite, soma, axon and axon
    terminals. The cell body or soma contains the nucleus and
    most organelles. The axon is a single projection from the
    soma which carries the impulse to the axon terminal. An
    impulse is a sudden change in the electric potential of the
    cell membrane. The axon may be enveloped by a myelin
    sheath for faster conduction of impulse. The dendrites are
    several projections which extend outward from the cell body
    and receive chemical signals from the axon terminals of
    another neuron. Electrical disturbances in the dendrites or
    axon will cause a new wave of impulse down the axon
    Neurons connect with one another through
    a junction called synapse. The moment an
    action potential reaches the axon’s
    terminal, a series of events will be created
    leading to the stimulation of the next
    neuron. Chemicals called neurotransmitters
    are released which facilitate the
    transmission of an
    impulse across a synapse. The figure below
    shows a synapse and synaptic transmission.
    Endocrine Gland System. Chemical
    coordination of body functions is mediated by
    the endocrine system, composed of ductless
    glands that release hormones. Hormones are
    chemical messengers secreted by a gland
    and affect a specific target tissue or organ.
    The endocrine and the nervous system
    coordinate with each other through a series of
    feedback mechanisms. A disorder results
    when a hormone is under- or over-secreted.
    The table below
    Tropism is a biological mechanism that
    enables plant to move toward (positive
    tropism) or against (negative tropism)
    the source of a stimulus. The roots grow
    underground because they
    usuallymove toward the source of
    water and the center of gravity while
    leaves usually grow above ground
    where they absorb sunlight. The table
    below shows a list of responses in
    plants.
    Hormones are chemical messengers
    in plants. They regulate various
    biochemical and physiological
    responses that include seed
    germination, flowering,
    photosynthesis, fruit ripening and
    shoot and root development. The
    table below shows a list of plant
    hormones and their specific actions
