Chapter Highlights:
- Introduction to Control & Coordination in Living Organisms
- Nervous System in Animals: Neurons, Brain, Spinal Cord, Reflex Arc
- Human Brain: Structure & Functions (Forebrain, Midbrain, Hindbrain)
- Protection of Nervous System: Skull, Vertebral Column, Meninges
- Endocrine System in Animals: Hormones (e.g. Adrenaline, Thyroxin, Insulin)
