The means for providing control and coordination activities in living organisms is mentioned to be the complex neuron networks in the brain. The paragraph suggests that reflex arcs, formed in the spinal cord, are efficient ways of functioning in the absence of true thought processes. While it acknowledges that reflex arcs have evolved due to the brain’s thinking process not always being fast enough, it highlights that even after the evolution of complex neuron networks in the brain, reflex arcs continue to be more efficient for quick responses. Therefore, the control and coordination activities in living organisms are attributed to both the complex neuron networks in the brain and the reflex arcs formed in the spinal cord.
