What will occur if the endocrine system is out of balance?
If the endocrine system is out of balance, the body is out of balance and illness results.
What two systems work with the endocrine system?
The endocrine system works with many biological systems. I guess the two most prevalent systems would be the nervous system and the reproductive system. The nervous system is responsible for receiving information that results in hormone changes within the body. The reproductive system contains sex organs that produce or regulate very powerful sex hormones (testosterone, estrogen).
What body system helps control the actions of when your heart begins to pound and your breathing becomes rapid?
The nervous system controls heart rate and respiratory rate. It may be influenced by the endocrine system as well. A rapid heart and breathing rate are typical results of activation of the sympathetic nervous system.

Does the parasympathetic nervous system increase or decrease BP?
The parasympathetic nervous system serves as the "rest and digest" system, which results in vasodilation of the peripheral vessels. This results in an overall decrease in blood pressure :)
How does serotonin receptor down-regulation have an antidepressant effect if it results in a decrease in post-synaptic neuron activation?
The serotonin receptor down-regulation has an antidepressant effect if it results in a decrease in post-synaptic neuron activation by activation of the 5-HT receptors within the rostral ventrolateral medulla.
Does adderall affect thyroid lab value results?
The prescription drug Adderall will not affect the results of any thyroid lab results. Adderall is an amphetamine that affects the central nervous system.
What is the difference between nervous system and endocrine system?
The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Neurotransmitters are used as chemical messengers for this system. This system works at a fast rate. The endocrine system consists of glands like the pancreas, thyroid, testes, ovaries, adrenal, pituitary to name a few. The chemical messengers for the endocrine system are hormones. Endocrine glands are ductless. This system works at a slow rate.
A disease of the nervous system results in severe muscle shakes?
I'm guessing tremor or Parkinson's Disease.
If regulation of a monopoly results in a price equal to marginal cost but price is below average total costs?
efficiency in allocation will be less
What is an analogy for the endocrine system?
The best way to compare the nervous system and the endocrine system is to compare the characteristics of speed, specificity and plasticity (ability to respond and change permanently, particularly with respect to strength and speed.) The nervous system uses rapid electrical signals along nerve axons. Chemical signals are used between nerve cells at synapses. Although this chemical transmission is slower than electrical transmission, synapses are important in transmission between nerve cells. The endocrine system uses hormones, which are secreted into and transported to their target cells via the circulation of blood. Due to the delay of circulation, hormonal responses are generally slower than nervous response. Both systems involve diffusion (either diffusion out of blood and into tissue or diffusion across a synapse). However, the diffusion distances in synapses is considerably smaller in nervous communication so further increasing its speed over hormonal communication. The nervous system is not considered as specific as the endocrine system, with the nervous system supplying group of tissues or organs. For example, one motor neurone induces and effect of several muscle fibers. Organs such as skeletal muscle, smooth muscles and glands are targeted individually. Due to receptor sites on target cells, the endocrine system is able to be very specific is binding specifically to the appropriate cells. The nervous system is more associated with plasticity. Synaptic plasticity results in changes in the quantity of neurotransmitter released and how effectively the postsynaptic cells respond to the neurotransmitter. Although the effects of hormones are generally more permanent, the system is considered more elastic than plastic (changing but then returning to the original.) In conclusion, the body often combines the speed of the nervous system with the specificity of the endocrine system to create the neuroendocrine system. Neuroendocrine cells receive neurally transmitted information and release hormones in response which is carried via blood the the target cells. The neuroendocrine system is mainly organised by the hypothalamus.
Can animals get pituitary gigantism?
Pituitary gigantism is very common among several animals. This is when the hormone regulation results in a larger than normal animal.
