Removing the Problem. The best way to get rid of a stuffy nose is to avoid tobacco and cigarette smoke no matter what. I know from personal experience that cigarette smoke will damage the lining of your sinuses and cause swelling in your sinus membranes, the chief cause of acute or chronic sinusitis.
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. Examples of where they work together are thermoregulation and osmoregulation.
Endocrine glands are also called ductless glands, because they secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. In contrast, exocrine glands release their secretions through ducts (for example, the sweat glands produce fluid that flows to the skin's surface through tiny tubelike sweat ducts). Hormones can be considered chemical messengers. They are targeted at specific cells in the body, and their arrival in those cells causes specific activities to occur. One of the major tasks of hormones is to coordinate the activities of organ systems.
