B1 - Coordination and Control

?
Name the two main types of effector in the human body.
Glands and muscles.
1 of 12
Name three stimuli which affect humans.
Any three from: light, sound, chemicals, touch, pain and temperature changes.
2 of 12
What effect does Oestrogen have on FSH production?
It inhibits the release of FHS.
3 of 12
State two internal conditions that need to be controlled.
Any two from: water, mineral irons, temperature and sugar.
4 of 12
How are impulses transmitted across a synapse?
By means of a chemical.
5 of 12
What type of cell detects a change in the environment?
Receptor.
6 of 12
Name a plant hormone.
Auxin.
7 of 12
What is gravitropism?
Response of a root to gravity.
8 of 12

10 of 12
Why are FSH and LH given in fertility treatment?
