CHAPTER – 7Control and Coordination
Living organisms respond and react to various stimuli like heat, light, cold, touch,
pressure etc. Plants and animals both respond to stimuli but in different manner.

Control and Coordination in Animals
It is brought about in all animals with the help of two main systems
a) Nervous System b) Endocrine System

ii) To receive the information from various
body parts. (Stimuli fi
Response)
iii) To act accordingly through muscles and glands.
Stimulus : Any change in environment or within that bring about the reaction eg:
touching a hot plate.
Response : The reaction of our body to these changes. eg. withdrawal of our hand
How do we detect that we are touching a hot object?

Inner Photo receptors Skin Olfactory Gustatory
Ear Eyes Receptor Receptor
(Nose) (Tongue)
