Question
Chapter 49.1, Problem 1LO
Summary Introduction
To compare: The endocrine system function and the nervous system function and describe the way in which these systems work together to regulate body response.
Introduction: Nervous and endocrine systems are complementary systems of control in the body. The endocrine system is involved in the secretion of hormones in the blood and their transportation to the respective organs or tissues. The nervous system coordinates the actions of the body through the transmission of electrical impulses. The nervous system is divided into two parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
