d) Distinguish between a sensory and a motor neurone
8. Figure 2.1 and 2.2 show two endocrine glands labelled P and Q respectively.
(a) (i) Identify the endocrine glands P and Q. [2]

(ii) State one hormone produced by each gland. [2]

(iii) Explain how the hormone produced by gland P stated in (a) (ii)

above plays a role in coordination. [3]

(b) Explain the other role played by gland Q apart from producing hormones.

9(a) Explain the functions of the following nerve cells.

(i) Sensory neurone

(c) Describe the role of the skin as a sense organ. [4]
11. Figure 4.0 below shows the external parts of the human eye.

(a) (i) Name the parts labelled M and N.

(ii) Explain how N is adapted to its function.
(b) Describe the role played by M and O when a person moves to a room with dim
light.
(c) Explain the cause of short sightedness and how it can be corrected.
12. Figure 4 shows structures of two neurones.

(a) (i) Identify the two neurones shown in Figure 4.

(ii) State the functions of parts P and Q in neurone 1.

(b) Explain why each of the following reflex actions are important to the body of an
organism:
(i) Cranial reflex,
(ii) Conditioned reflex. [4]
(c) Describe how an impulse is transmitted from one neurone to another. [2]
14. (a) Describe the functions of the following hormones;
(i) Thyroxine,
(ii) Glucagon. [6]
(b) Explain the causes of short sight and how it can be corrected. [2]
