Introduction :

The endocrine system is the system that releases certain chemical messengers from the glands present in the body. The work of these messengers is to move to the target cell and induce signal transduction pathway inside the cell. The nervous system maintains the coordination by the means of electrical and chemical signals that are transferred from one nerve cell to another nerve cell. The nervous system is majorly divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
