Clues

  • A muscle or gland that responds to impulses from the nervous system (8, 5)
  • A pill containing female sex hormones (oestrogen and/ or progesterone) which is used to prevent conception (13, 4)
  • Central Nervous System - made up of the brain and spinal cord where information is processed (11, 3)
  • Female sex hormone used in the contraceptive pill (12)
  • Neuron that carries impulses from the relay neuron, through the synapse, to the effector organ (5, 6)
  • Neuron which carries impulses from the sensory organs to the central nervous system (7, 6)
  • stimuli --> receptor --> sensory neuron --> coordinator (CNS) --> motor neuron --> effetor organ (7, 6)
  • stimuli --> receptor --> sensory neuron --> coordinator (CNS) --> relay neuron --> motor neuron --> effector organ --> response (6, 7)
  • The response of a plant to light, controlled by auxin (12)
  • The response of plants to gravity, controlled by auxin (12)

Report

A challenging set of questions on nervous and hormonal control useful for the AQA syllabus.  Team these up with  some sample examination questions and a colourful set of notes for a good set of resources.
