Coordination in mammals
Introduction
Imagine a world where animals cannot sense danger, move their limbs, or
react to their surroundings. Survival would be nearly impossible! Fortunately,
animals, including humans, possess systems that enable them to detect changes
in their environment and respond appropriately. This remarkable ability is made
possible through coordination, a highly organised network that ensures smooth
communication between different parts of the body. In this chapter, you will describe
coordination in animals including nervous coordination in human, structures of
neurones and sense organs. Competencies developed will enable you understand

them. This will in turn promote proper functioning of your nervous system.
