Introduction This living organism is commonly made of multiple numbers of cells that is eukaryotic. This type of cell has a prominent wall and the main component of this wall is cellulose. The differentiation process of this kingdom was done according to the model of R.H Whittaker and this classification process was mainly done due to the structure of the cellular body, the process of nutrition, organisation of body structure as well as the reproduction process. Another important basis of the classification is the phylogenetic combination with others What is the kingdom of plants? Plantae refers to ‘the kingdom of ... Read More

Introduction There are multiple external factors in the play that assists in the course of the growth of plants. The course of growth in plants is noticeable through all the organs. These growths are also prompted by organic compounds which are the growth hormones. There are multiple hormones present in plants that assist in the elongation of the overall plant along with their respective organs. What are plant growth regulators? The regulators that assist in the enlargement of various parts of the plants are called plant growth regulators. These are molecules that influence the development of plants and are ... Read More

Introduction Coordination is the process that aids in the function and interaction of the organs and complements the function of each other. The neutral system helps in the integration of the bodily functions of humans. The neural system provides an organized network to point-to-point connections which are helpful in rapid coordination. It functions with the endocrine system that helps in rendering the chemical integration with the help of hormones. What is the Neural System? The neural system assists in the functionalities of various organs in the human body. It is composed of highly specialized cells that are known ... Read More

Introduction The nervous tissues are considered the primary tissue in the nervous system. The nervous tissue is the part of the cellular unit that helps in the basic functionalities of the body. These tissues help in monitoring and controlling basic bodily functions in living organisms. Nervous tissues are made of two cells: neurons which are also called nerve cells and glial cells, these cells transmit nerve impulses and provide nutrients to neurons. What is Nervous Tissue? The nervous tissue is the primary tissue of the nervous system. It helps in the coordination process and controls overall functioning of the body ... Read More

Introduction The basic unit of the nervous system is neurons that help to control various functions and movements of the body parts. Neurons are of various types including Motor neurons that allow the transmission of information from the brain to muscles and other vital organs of the body. Sensory neurons help to detect sound, light, taste, odour, heat sensation, and pressure and then send the messages to the brain. Some disorders of the nervous system include infections such as polio, meningitis, encephalitis, and epidural abscess. What is the Nervous System? Nervous system consists of two major parts ...

Introduction Nervous system Coordination can affect the whole body including memory to feel and can control the sense so, that the brain can interpret what one person can see, taste or touch. In simple words, the whole body can be controlled and coordinated for various activities by the nervous system and its coordination. Nerves help to send and receive the message that too in form of an electrical impulse, is called the nerve impulse. Control and Coordination in Human Control and coordination are the kinds of activities that take place via the nervous system and the organs, that comprise ... Read More

Introduction Nervous System is nothing but a systematic collection of cells which is designed for the transmission of electrochemical inputs. Here, the organisms adjust their movements and orientations, and they react to the change in the external environment. It is seen that the human nervous system is classified into two main parts. They are Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System. Information regarding Nervous System Figure 1: Human Nervous System The networks show the reactions in this region and it is the network of neurons and synapses. They help in the transmission of information from the brain and spinal ... Read More

Introduction The nerves of a species are known as a system that carries electrochemical properties. These properties help an animal including human beings to sense something using their five sense organs. This system is formed by the conjunction of nerve fibres consisting of neurons. They are connected to every part of a body by connective tissues. It originates from the brain stem that expands into all the parts of a body through the spinal cord present inside the vertebral column. What are Nerves? The nerves are a constituent of several neurons joining together to operate as a system that ... Read More
