Thus, movement happens at a point different from the of touch (stimulus). So, the information that a touch occurred is communicated through electrical-chemical his from cell to cell, but not through specialised tissues. Cells change in shape by changing the amount of water them, resulting in swelling or shrinking, during movement.
Movement in our legs : Our legs are provided nerves which are connected to muscles. To lift the leg, brain passes information to nerves.
The information travels as an electrical impulse. reaching the leg muscles, the impulse is converted into chemical signal and the muscles contract to lift the Movement of legs takes place due to muscle contraction relaxation, which is under the control of our nervous system.
In the nervous system, electrical impulses are generated for quick transmission of information. But there limitations :
(i) Impulses will reach only those cells that connected by the nervous tissue.
(ii) Once an electrical impulse is generated in a and transmitted, the cell takes some time to generate another impulse. That is, cells cannot continuously create transmit electrical impulses.
Hormones are chemical messengers that diffuse to cells of the body. The body cells, using special molecule! their surfaces, recognise information and even transmitted Hormones are synthesised at places away from where act.
Hormones can reach all cells of the body (through by in animals) regardless of nervous connections, and it be done steadily and persistently.
