The nervous system is a network of specialized cells that communicate information about an animal's surroundings and itself. It processes this information and causes reactions in other parts of the body. It is composed of neurons and other specialized cells called glia, that aid in the function of the neurons. The nervous system is divided broadly into two categories: the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. Neurons generate and conduct impulses between and within the two systems. The peripheral nervous system is composed of sensory neurons and the neurons that connect them to the nerve cord, spinal cord and brain, which make up the central nervous system. In response to stimuli, sensory neurons generate and propagate signals to the central nervous system which then processes and conducts signals back to the muscles and glands. The neurons of the nervous systems of animals are interconnected in complex arrangements and use electrochemical signals and neurotransmitters to transmit impulses from one neuron to the next. (The interaction of the different neurons form neural circuits that regulate an organism's perception of the world and what is going on with its body, thus regulating its behavior.)
The endocrine system is a system of small organs that involve the release of extracellular signaling molecules known as hormones. The endocrine system is instrumental in regulating metabolism, growth, development and puberty, and tissue function and (also plays a part in determining mood)
What else can I help you with?
Which two organ systems are most important in maintaining homeostasis?
The nervous system and the endocrine system are the most important organ systems in maintaining homeostasis. The nervous system responds quickly to stimuli, while the endocrine system regulates processes that require longer-term balance, such as metabolism and growth. Together, they coordinate and regulate bodily functions to ensure internal stability.
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 the nervous system or the endocrine system best suited to detect danger?
The nervous system
What are two systems involved in coordinating the functioning of the human body?
The nervous system, composed of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, coordinates rapid responses to stimuli. The endocrine system, which includes glands like the pituitary and thyroid, regulates body functions using hormones released into the bloodstream.
Which system controls the endocrine system?
Endocrine is the correct answer for Apex
What provides a link between the nervous system and the endocrine system?
The hypothalamus provides a link between the nervous system and the endocrine system.
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 are the two systems of the body involved in the indirect communication of cells?
The endocrine system and the nervous system are the two systems of the body involved in the indirect communication of cells. The endocrine system releases hormones into the bloodstream to target distant cells, while the nervous system uses neurotransmitters to send signals across synapses to adjacent cells.
Which system control the endocrine system?
Nervous

What is the to nervous system?
The nervous system work very closelly to the endocrine system (hormones).
What advantage does the nervous system have over the endocrine system?
The messages of the nervous system are relayed by nervous impulses, which are very fast and short-acting. In contrast, the messages of the endocrine system are sent via chemical messengers (hormones) distributed by the circulatory system. This distribution in your blood is much slower than the electrical impulses of the nervous system.
Which system the nervous system or the endocrine system best suited to detect danger?
The nervous system
How are the nervous systems and endocrine the system different?
The endocrine system affects cells with certain receptors . The nervous system can affect only nearby cells
