A and B are the two systems of control and coordination in the human body. The messages in system A are transmitted in the form of chemical substances C which travel comparatively slowly through the blood stream. The substances C are made in tissues D present in the head and trunk of human body. The messages in system b are transmitted very quickly in the form of electrical impulses through fibres E. The effect of messages transmitted by system b usually lasts for a much shorter time as compared to those transmitted by system A.

Two metals $X$ and $Y$ form the salts $XSO_4$ and $Y_2SO_4,$ respectively. The solution of salt $XSO_4$ is blue in colour whereas that of $Y_2SO_4$ is colourless. When barium chloride solution is added to $XSO_4$ solution, then a white precipitate $Z$ is formed alongwith a salt which turns the solution green. And when barium chloride solution is added to $Y_2SO_4$ solution, then the same white precipitate $Z$ is formed alongwith colourless common salt solution.
