The nervous and endocrine systems are related in three main areas, structure, chemical, and function. The endocrine and nervous system work parallel with each other and in conjunction function in maintaining homeostasis, development and reproduction. Both systems are the communication links of the body and aid the body's life systems to function correctly and in relation to each other.
Structurally many of the endocrine systems glands and tissues are rooted in the nervous system, Such glands as the hypothalamus and posterior pituitary are examples of nerve tissues that influence the function of a gland and it's secretion of hormones. Not only does the hypothalamus secrete hormones into the bloodstream, but it regulates the release of hormones in the posterior pituitary gland. Those that are not made of nervous tissue once were. The adrenal medulla is derived from the same cells that produce certain ganglia.
Chemically both the endocrine and nervous system function in communication by means of the same transmitters but use them in different ways. Hormones are utilized by both systems in signaling an example of this can be seen in the use of Norepinephrine. Norepineprine functions as a neurotransmitter in the nervous system and as an adrenal hormone in the endocrine system.
Functionally the nervous and endocrine system work hand in hand acting in communicating and driving hormonal changes. They work in maintaing homeostasis and respond to changes inside and outside the body. Besides functioning in similar manners they work in conjunction. An example of this can be seen in a mothers release of milk. When a baby sucks the nipple of its mother, sensory cells in the nipple sends signals to the hypothalmus, which then responds by releaing oxytocin from the posterior pituitary. The oxytocin is released into the bloodstream where it moves to its' target cell, a mammary gland. The mammary gland then responds to the hormones signal by releasing milk through the nipple. Besides working in conjunction with each other, both systems affect one another. The adrenal medulla is under control the control of nerve cells, but the nervous systems development is under the control of the endocrine system.

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.
What system controls endocrine system?
Pituaritry gland
What controls the endocrine system?
The endocrine system is controlled by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland located in the brain. These structures release hormones that regulate the other glands in the endocrine system, which in turn release hormones that regulate various bodily functions. Hormone levels are maintained through a complex feedback mechanism to ensure proper function of the endocrine system.
What system does the endocrine system work with?
The endocrine system works with all of the other systems, including the nervous system, digestive system, and circulatory system. In the nervous system, the endocrine system sends hormones to cells.
Which organ systems function as control systems communicating with other cells or organs to regulate their activities?
The nervous system and endocrine system function as control systems in the body. The nervous system uses electrical signals to communicate rapidly, while the endocrine system uses hormones to communicate more slowly but for longer durations. Both systems work together to regulate and coordinate the activities of other cells and organs in the body.
Which coordinates the work of the endocrine system with nervous system?
The hypothalamus is a key structure that coordinates the work of the endocrine system with the nervous system. It releases hormones that stimulate or inhibit the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland, which in turn regulates the release of hormones from other endocrine glands throughout the body. Additionally, the adrenal glands play a role in the body's stress response, integrating signals from both the nervous and endocrine systems.
What is the connection between the nervous system and the endocrine system?
The connection between the nervous system and the endocrine system is through the hypothalamus in the brain. The hypothalamus regulates hormone production and release by the endocrine system, while also receiving signals from the nervous system to help coordinate responses to stress and other stimuli. This communication between the two systems helps maintain balance and regulate various bodily functions.
How the Endocrine system and the nervous system work together to maintain homeostasis?
The endocrine and nervous system work together to maintain homeostasis by sending each other signals and messages to know when the body needs something.
What other orggans does the endocrine system work with?
Circulatory. Respiratory. Immune. Nervous. Reproductive. urinary.
What system controls an animal's organ system-circulatory system-excretory system-and nervous system?
We can say all the systems controls each other but the whole body is controlled by Nervous system and Endocrine System. The Endocrine System by hormones controls the excretory system and controls the nervous system during emergency by releasing Adrenaline hormone. So all organ systems controls each other.
What is the connection between the endocrine and nervous systems?
The endocrine and nervous systems work together to regulate the body's functions. The nervous system sends electrical signals to control immediate responses, while the endocrine system releases hormones to regulate long-term processes. Both systems communicate with each other to maintain balance and coordinate the body's activities.
Why is Murcury no longer used in most thermometers?
Mercury is poisonous. It can damage the nervous system, endocrine system, and kidneys among other organs.
