Chapter 1: Stimuli and Responses
What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter, we will be learning about stimuli and responses. We will start by studying the human nervous system, understanding its structures and functions through drawings.
We will also learn about the pathway of impulses in voluntary and involuntary actions. Moving on, we will explore stimuli and responses in humans, drawing the structures of sensory organs and explaining their functions and sensitivities towards stimuli. We will also study the mechanism of hearing and sight through drawings.
Next, we will delve into stimuli and responses in plants, describing the parts of a plant that are sensitive towards stimuli. We will also learn how these responses ensure the sustainability and survival of plants.
Lastly, we will discuss the importance of responses to stimuli in animals. We will explain the types of sight and hearing in animals using examples and understand how sensory organs ensure the survival of animals on Earth.
