Question
What is meant by co-ordination?
✓
Answer
Several different organ systems function in multicellular organisms.
Their life goes on smoothly if there is co-ordination between different organ systems or organs and the stimuli in the surrounding.
Depending upon this, we can say that systematic regulation of different processes can be called control and bringing about the different processes in the proper sequence is called co-ordination.
If any activity in the body is to be completed successfully, proper co-ordination between different systems, and organs participating at different steps of that activity is necessary.
If due to lack of co-ordination, there is confusion at any step, the activity may not get completed. There should be no randomness at any step.
There should be proper co-ordination between internal activities of the body resulting from various factors like body temperature, water- level, enzyme-level, etc. or stimuli arising in the surrounding environment.
Proper co-ordination between various systems of an organism helps to maintain a state of equilibrium called homeostasis which is necessary for the optimal efficiency of the body.
