The hypothalamus is a collection of specialized cells that is the primary link between the nervous system and the endocrine system via the pituitary gland. It is located below the thalamus and just above the brainstem.

In simple terms...:
The hypothalamus detects low levels of a certain hormone in the blood (lets say Thyroid hormone) and so releases hormone signals (called Thyroid Releasing hormone) which travel to the pituitary gland below it telling it that the body needs more of this particular thyroid hormone. The pituitary will then produce its own signalling hormone (thyroid stimulating hormone) which will travel to the organ in question (the thyroid), telling it to produce more of its own hormone (T3 and T4).
Once the organ has produced an adequate amount of the desired hormone, levels of it in the blood rise. This level is picked up by the hypothalamus in turn, which sees that there is enough of this hormone in the body, and so stops sending its signals to the pituitary, reducing the production of thyroid hormone until levels fall again.
Hope this helps!

What are the two systems of the body involved in the indirect communication of cells?
endocrine (slow chemical messages, transported in the blood) or nervous (extremley fast electical messages transported via neurones)
What systems works closely with the endocrine system to coordinate the body's functions?
The system that works closely is the nervous system
What system controls endocrine system?
Pituaritry gland
How are the nervous system and the endocrine system different?
The nervous system can affect only nearby cells. APEX
Which organ system coordinates the actions of the body?
That would be the nervous system, specifically the Central Nervous system, more commonly abbreviated to CNS.
The small region in the brain that serves as the link between the nervous system and the endocine system?
The hypothalamus links the nervous system and the endocrine systems together.
Which endocrine gland link the the endocrine system and the nervous system?
The hypothalamus is the endocrine gland that links the endocrine and nervous systems. It controls many of the pituitary hormone levels and also controls body water levels. The hypothalamus is located in the brain.the thyriod gland
Which system controls the endocrine system?
Endocrine is the correct answer for Apex
What are the two systems of the body involved in the indirect communication of cells?
endocrine (slow chemical messages, transported in the blood) or nervous (extremley fast electical messages transported via neurones)
Which two organ systems are most important in maintaining homeostasis?
The nervous and endocrine systems bear the major responsibility for ensuring homeostasis.
What are two systems involved in coordinating the functioning of the human body?
The nervous system and the endocrine system regulate the activities of all of the systems in the human body.
What is the three differences in the behavior of the regulatory functions of the nervous and endocrine systems?
The endocrine systems work with the nervous system but they have a few different functions. The endocrine systems use hormones not nerves, the endocrine system is slower than the nervous system because it flows through the blood not the nerves, and the endocrine system also has gland and the nervous system does not.
What do both the endocrine and nervous systems allow you to do?
The endocrine and nervous systems allow your body to regulate body functions. The endocrine system does so through hormones, and the nervous system through nervous impulses.
What two organ most directly regulates the body system?
Negative feedback mechanism is used by two body systems: the nervous system and the endocrine system. The nervous system is the quick one and uses an intricate circuitry of neurons and your brain to respond to changes. The endocrine system is the slow one and is made up of endocrine glands that secrete hormones to counter changes.
Which system control the endocrine system?
Nervous
What systems works closely with the endocrine system to coordinate the body's functions?
The system that works closely is the nervous system
What gland links the nervous system and the endocrine system controls many of the pituitary gland functions and controls the body's water levels?
