Region of the brain dealing with the higher functions such as conscious thought; it is divided into two cerebral hemispheres	Cerebrum	70%
Region of the brain coordinating balance and fine control of movement	Cerebellum	60%
Plant hormones which are responsible for regulating plant growth	Auxins	50%
Muscle found in the heart walls	Cardiac muscle	50%
Plant hormones which are responsible for control of stem elongation and seed germination	Gibberellins	50%
The central part of the nervous system composed of the brain and spinal cord	Central nervous system	40%
The part of the brain that controls physiological processes	Medulla oblongata	40%
Any chemical substance released by one living thing, which influences the behaviour or physiology of another living thing	Pheromone	40%
Endocrine gland at the base of the brain, below but attached to the hypothalamus; the anterior lobe secretes many hormones; the posterior lobe stores and releases hormones made in the hypothalamus	Pituitary gland	40%

A directional growth response in which the direction of the response is determined by the direction of the external stimulus	Tropism	40%
The structure at which a nerve meets the muscle; it is similar in action to a synapse	Neuromuscular junction	30%
Organic nitrogen-containing bases that have important physiological effects on animals; includes nicotine, quinine, strychnine and morphine	Alkaloids	20%
Inhibition of lateral buds further down the shoot by chemicals produced by the apical bud at the tip of a plant shoot	Apical dominance	20%
The motor neurones under conscious control	Somatic nervous system	20%
