1. Define homeostasis The regulation of the internal condi-
tions of a cell or organism to main-
tain optimum conditions for function
in response to internal and external
changes.

2. Give three things that are controlled Blood glucose concentration, body
by homeostasis. temperature and water levels.

3. What are receptors? Cells that detect stimuli.

4. What are coordination centres? Areas that receive and process infor-
mation from receptors (e.g. the brain,
spinal cord and pancreas).

5. What are effectors? Muscles or glands that bring about re-
sponses to the stimulus that has been
received and restore optimum levels.

6. How does the nervous system Sensory receptors detect stimulus. In-
work? formation is sent along sensory neu-
rones as an electrical impulse un-
til it reaches the CNS. The CNS co-
ordinates a response, which travels
across the motor neurones to the
effectors. The effectors form a re-
sponse.

7. What does the nervous system do? Enables humans to react to their sur-
roundings and coordinate their be-
haviour.

8. Summarise the nervous system as a Stimulus —> receptor —> coordina-
chain. tor —> effector —> response

9. Why are reflex actions important? Reflex actions are automatic and
rapid so there is less risk of harm to
the body.
