Question 9:
What is the need for a system of control and coordination in an organism?
Answer:
The maintenance of the body functions in response to changes in the body by
working together of various integrated body systems is known as coordination.
All the movements that occur in response to stimuli are carefully coordinated
and controlled. In animals, the control and coordination movements are provided
by nervous and muscular systems. The nervous system sends messages to and
away from the brain. The spinal cord plays an important role in the relay of
messages. In the absence of this system of control and coordination, our body
will not be able to function properly. For example, when we accidentally touch
a hot utensil, we immediately withdraw our hand. In the absence of nerve
transmission, we will not withdraw our hand and may get burnt.
