- The Endocrine system (along with the nervous system) controls and regulates the complex activities of the body. 1  The Endocrine system regulates the activities of the body by secreting complex chemical substances (hormones) into the blood stream. These secretions come from a variety of glands which control various organs of the body.

Introduction to Psychology, v. 1.0 The endocrine system works together with the nervous system to influence many aspects of human behavior, including growth, reproduction, and metabolism. And the endocrine system plays a vital role in emotions.he autonomic nervous system has two divisions: The sympathetic division acts to energize the body, preparing it for action. The parasympathetic division acts to calm the body, allowing it to rest. Our everyday activities are controlled by the interaction between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

Introduction to the Endocrine System The endocrine system acts through chemical messengers called hormones that influence growth, development, and metabolic activities. The action of the endocrine system is measured in minutes, hours, or weeks and is more generalized than the action of the nervous system.ntroduction to the Endocrine System. The endocrine system, along with the nervous system, functions in the regulation of body activities. The nervous system acts through electrical impulses and neurotransmitters to cause muscle contraction and glandular secretion.

Endocrine system The endocrine system is in contrast to the exocrine system, which secretes its hormones to the outside of the body using ducts. As opposed to endocrine factors that travel considerably longer distances via the circulatory system, other signaling molecules, such as paracrine factors involved in paracrine signalling diffuse over a relatively short distance.

Body Systems & How They Work Together Unlike the nervous system, there is no physical wiring with neurons, however, and the hormones reach their target via the blood stream, where they exert their effect. The endocrine and nervous system may work together on the same organ, and each may influence the actions of the other system. The endocrine system largely governs many processes related to reproduction and sexual maturity, as well. The immune system is a network of cells, tissues and organs that work together to attack pathogens that try to invade your body. Bacteria, parasites and fungi that may cause infection meet a system of immune soldiers, including T-lymphocytes, macrophages and neutrophils.

Cookies 1 The endocrine system, which is a slower system based on chemical messengers, the hormones, which are secreted into the blood (or other extracellular fluids) and can reach all parts of the body.he endocrine system is a complex network of glands, hormones and receptors. It provides the key communication and control link between the nervous system and bodily functions such as reproduction, immunity, metabolism and behaviour.

- The nervous and endocrine systems both work to bring about this adaptation, but their response patterns are different. The nervous system and the endocrine system use chemical messengers to signal cells, but the speed at which these messages are transmitted and the length of their effects differs.

What does the endocrine system do? Topics | Endocrine System | What does the endocrine system do? Endocrine system is instrumental in regulating mood, growth and development, tissue function, metabolism, and reproduction. In general, the endocrine system is in charge of body processes that happen slowly, such as cell growth. Faster processes like breathing and body movement are controlled by the nervous system. The endocrine and central nervous system are separate systems, but they work closely together regulate every body function properly through the neuroendocrine pathway.

Factors that Affect Endocrine Function Diseases and Conditions. Chronic diseases and other conditions may affect endocrine system function in several ways. After hormones produce their effects at their target organs, they are broken down (metabolized) into inactive molecules. The liver and kidneys are the main organs that break down hormones.

What is the link between the nervous and endocrine systems? The endocrine system broadcasts its hormonal messages to essentially all cells by secretion into blood and extracellular fluid. Endocrine system is chemical and slow in nature. The nervous system exerts point-to-point over body control through nerves. Nervous system control is electrical in nature and fast.

- • The endocrine system and nervous system are similarly organized. Both systems: 1. rely on the release of chemicals that bind to specific receptors on their target cells. 2. share many chemical messengers; for example, norepinephrine and epinephrine are called hormones when released into the bloodstream, but

The endocrine system works to regulate the bodyâs interior (a.k.a. maintain homeostasis) by using glands to produce hormones that release chemical signals. This system plays a key role in three very important bodily functions. The endocrine system and its glands are very important to the life functions of reproduction , growth, and regulation . The endocrine system releases many different hormones that work with different body systems. Because of this, itcan be said that it works with every other system in the body. One of the systems the endocrine system works with the most is the nervous system.The nervous system and endocrine system are very similar in how they work, which is perhaps why each of these systems affect each other greatly.Both of these systems communicate with each other to control hormones.he nervous system and endocrine system are very similar in how they work, which is perhaps why each of these systems affect each other greatly.

Norepinephrine It is released from the adrenal medulla into the blood as a hormone, and is also a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and sympathetic nervous system where it is released from noradrenergic neurons. The actions of norepinephrine are carried out via the binding to adrenergic receptors.orepinephrine system Edit. The noradrenergic neurons in the brain form a neurotransmitter system, that, when activated, exerts effects on large areas of the brain. The effects are alertness and arousal, and influences on the reward system.

Adrenaline Every emotional response has a behavioral component, an autonomic component, and a hormonal component. The hormonal component includes the release of epinephrine, an adrenomedullary response that occurs in response to stress and that is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system. The major emotion studied in relation to epinephrine is fear.

- Additionally, the autonomic nervous system can be further subdivided into two divisions: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. Both of these systems control the same group of body functions, but they have opposite effects on the functions that they regulate. The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for intense physical activity and is often referred to as the fight-or-flight response. The parasympathetic nervous system has almost the exact opposite effect and relaxes the body and inhibits or slows many high energy functions. The effects of the parasympathetic nervous system can be summarized by the phrase ' rest and digest '.
