LIFE PROCESS

Endocrine glands are ductless glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products,

hormones, directly into the blood. The major glands of the endocrine system include the
pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland,
hypothalamus and adrenal glands.

The control and coordination in human beings take place through nervous system and

hormonal system which is called endocrine system. ... All the receptors send message in the
form of electrical impulses to spinal cord and brain through sensory nerves.

That's a brief overview on the five major types of plant hormones: auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin,
ethylene, and abscisic acid. Remember that hormones are potent little chemical messengers,
but they would lose their effectiveness if they hung around and built up in the tissues of
the plant.

There are two types of stimuli that affect the body: external and internal. External stimuli are

changes to conditions outside of the body, or in general, information from outside the body that
our senses detect. For example, our bodies respond to changes in light and temperature and to
sources of danger.

Coordination is the ability to use different parts of the plant together, smoothly and efficiently.
In plants, coordination is due to the result of a chemical system, wherein plant hormones or
phytohormones have a major role.

The excretory system is the system of an organism's body that performs the function

of excretion, the bodily process of discharging wastes. ... There are several parts of the body
that are involved in this process, such as sweat glands, the liver, the lungs and the
kidney system. Every human has two kidneys.

Plants excrete through stomatal pores on their leaves. The major metabolic reactions occurring
in a plant that produce this waste are cellular respiration and photosynthesis. These processes
are responsible for most of the gaseous waste produced by a plant.

Xylem and Phloem tissues are present throughout the plant. They begin at the root and then
move up to the stem, branches, and leaves. The xylem tissue transports water and minerals
from the roots to the leaves whereas the phloem tissue transports food from the leaves to the
other parts of the plant.

Transpiration pull or the suction force is the force which aids in drawing the water upward from
roots to leaves. In leaves, some amount of water is used for photosynthesis and excess water is
released into atmosphere through openings called as stomata.

Transportation is the process of transporting water, minerals and food to all parts of
the plant body. Transport in plants occurs at three levels: The uptake and release of water
and solute by individual cells. Long distance transport of sap within xylem and phloem.
