1. What is interaction?
Interaction is one of the main characteristics of living things.
All living things interact with their environment; in otherwords, they receive stimuli and respond to them.

There are different elements involved in interaction:
Stimuli are internal or external changes that can be detected and provoke responses. We can distinguish two types of stimuli:
Physical : pressure, temperature, sound, light,...
Chemical : !resence or absence of chemical substances.
Receptors are structures which can receive e"ternal or internal
stimuli. In animals, the sense organs are sets of receptors.
Coordination systems: The information generated by the
receptors must be processed, in order to elaborate a response. This
is the function of the coordination systems #in animals, nervous
and endocrine systems$.Responsie or!ans #%effectors$. These structures produce
responses. In animals they are muscles and glands.

Interaction functions are much more developed in animals than in
plants, although plants, of course, show them. We are going to
study now interaction in animals, and we will consider interaction
in plants later.

&. Interaction and coordination in animals
As we know, interaction function is related basically to thefollowing processes:'Stimuli reception. This process is done by receptors, which
detect internal or e"ternal changes #stimuli, stimulus in singular$.
In many cases, receptors are grouped, giving place to sensory
organs.' Information processing , carried out by the coordination systems:
nervous system and endocrine system. They can integrate
information from different sources, process it and elaborate
responses.' Response. (esponses are carried out by responsive organs, also
called effectors: muscles and glands.

Coordination systems
Animals have two coordination systems: the nervous system and the
endocrine system. They process information in order to produce
ade5uate responses, and they send orders to effectors. Then,effectors e"ecute the response.

4mooth muscles can be around organs.
>uscles contract when they receive nerve impulses.
The effectors are the structures or organs wich e"ecute the response:
muscles and glands.
Then, there are two types of responses to stimuli: motor responses,due to muscles, and secretory responses, due to glands.
