Endocrine Vs Nervous System The endocrine system acts with nervous system to coordinate the body’s activities. Both systems enable cells to communicate with others by using chemical messengers. The endocrine system uses chemical messengers called hormones that are transported by the circulatory system (blood). They act on target cells that may be anywhere in the body. The endocrine system is slower than the nervous system because hormones must travel through the circulatory system to reach their

CHAPTER 15 The Endocrine System NOTES 1. Name 4 ways cells communicate with each other and name important characteristics of each. Answers a. gap junctions: really fast‚ nondirectional‚ part of nervous system b. neurotransmitters: fast‚ directional‚ specific‚ limited effects‚ part of nervous system c. paracrines: local tissue fluids‚ nondirectional‚ limited effects d. hormones: slower in onset‚ systemic in bloodstream‚ sustained effects 2.

Discuss your dissection of the components of the endocrine system of the fetal pig by doing the following: a. Describe the endocrine organs that are located in the throat region (e.g.‚ function and appearance). Thyroid - small dark brown‚ pink gland in the trachea. Its function is to regulate metabolism and secrete hormones.

Biology exam Endocrine system: Hormones: chemical messengers that coordinate the body’s activates. Substances secreted by cells that act to regulate the activity of other cells in the body. They are part of the endocrine system and they are slow acting but have a longer affect than neurotransmitters. Functions: * regulate growth‚ development‚ behavior‚ and reproduction. * Maintain homeostasis * Regulate metabolism and water and mineral balance * Respond to external stimuli

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The digestive system is basically a tube running through the body from the mouth to the anus. The organs of the digestive system include the oral cavity (mouth)‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small and large intestine and rectum. Their role is to break down food and deliver the products to the blood for dispersal to the body cells. The undigested food that remains in the tract leaves the body through the anus as feces. The break down activities that

The Relationship Between The Nervous System and The Endocrine System The cells and tissues in the body are delicate and easily disrupted. They will only be able to function well if all aspects of their chemical and physical environment is continuously adjusted to keep them stable and in equilibrium. The process in which several body systems work together to maintain the balanced environment is called homeostasis. The endocrine and nervous system work closely together to help maintain homeostasis

Endocrine System Chapter 13 Study Guide Name ( ) Revision 2 OVERVIEW The endocrine system‚ like the nervous system‚ controls body activities to maintain a relatively constant internal environment. The methods used by these two systems are different. This chapter describes the difference between endocrine and exocrine glands‚ the location of the endocrine glands‚ and the hormones they secrete (objectives 1 and 6). It explains the nature of hormones‚ the substances that function as hormones
