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 1) KNOW ALL OF THE ENDOCRINE GLAND & HOROMONES * Hypothalamus Although it is part of the brain‚ the hypothalamus secretes several hormones and is very closely related to the activity of the endocrine system. * The hormones it secretes are: * Releasing hormones – stimulate the secretion of specific anterior pituitary hormones * Release inhibiting hormones – inhibit the secretion of specific anterior pituitary hormones Pituitary * A small

The Endocrine System FOCUS: The endocrine system is one of the major regulatory systems in the body‚ along with the nervous system. However‚ the endocrine system responds more slowly‚ and has a longer-lasting‚ more general effect on the body than the nervous system. Endocrine tissues internally produce hormones which are released into the blood‚ where they are carried to target tissue and produce a response. Some hormones bind to receptors on the surface of the cell membrane‚ producing permeability

in blood glucose‚ this increases the feeling of hunger which is activated by the lateral hypothalamus in the brain. This contains a neurotransmitter called the neuropeptide Y which causes the individual to consume food‚ therefore resulting in the glucose levels to rise again. This rise in glucose levels activates the ventromedial hypothalamus which leads to feelings of satiation. The ventromedial hypothalamus contains an area called the paraventricular nucleus which is believed to cause a condition

allows the body to adjust quickly to environmental changes • The endocrine system is designed to maintain control over longer durations • The hypothalamus regulates the pituitary gland through nerve stimulation • However‚ endocrine glands – which are stimulated by the pituitary gland – secrete chemicals that affect nerve activity of the hypothalamus Pituitary Gland (The Master Gland) • “master

but with all related meanings that sum up to the physiology of the endocrine glands. The endocrine system sends messages to the endocrine glands in your body that include the adrenal‚ pituitary‚ thyroid‚ and parathyroid glands‚ as well as‚ the hypothalamus‚ pancreas‚ ovaries‚ and testes. There are two main systems in the body that control the proper functioning of the body. The nervous system sends ultra fast electrical alerts and messages from the brain. It is divided up into two main systems

How do they differ? The two techniques used to study hypothalamic dysfunction are stimulation and destruction. To simulate the hypothalamus a small wire probe is inserted into the hypothalamus and a weak but constant current is passed through its insulated tip. Generally‚ simulation makes the controlling
