The most basic function of the nervous system is:
Correct answer: C. Conduction
- A. Stimulation
- B. Reception
- C. Conduction
- D. Inhibition
Explanation
Conduction refers to the transmission of electrical signals (action potentials) along the length of a neuron. This process allows for communication within the nervous system, enabling the transmission of information between neurons and from neurons to effector cells (such as muscles or glands). Conduction is indeed a fundamental function of the nervous system, as it underlies all neural activity.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
