Endocrine and

nervous system
Endocrine system
The endocrine system is a
regulatory system. However, instead
of using electrical impulses for
signaling, it produces and uses
chemical signals called hormones,
which travel through the
bloodstream and control the actions
of cells and organs.
Hormones

• Hormone Gland produced in Role

• Thyroid hormone Thyroid Regulates metabolism
• Adrenaline (epinephrine) Adrenal gland Involved in "fight or flight” response
• Cortisol Adrenal gland Involved in "fight or flight" response,
regulates metabolism and immune responses
• Estrogen Ovaries Sexual and reproductive
development, mainly in women
• Testosterone Testes, sometimes adrenal glands or ovaries Sexual and
reproductive development, mainly in men
• Insulin Pancreas Blood sugar regulation, fat storage
• Glucagon Pancreas Blood sugar regulation
NERVOUS
SYSTEM
NERVOUS SYSTEM
The nervous system or the neural
system is a complex network of
neurons specialized to carry
messages.
The nervous system is made up of two parts: the central nervous system
(CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

• Central nervous system (CNS) • Peripheral nervous system

• The CNS is made of the brain
and spinal cord. Commands to
the body originate in the brain
and the spinal cord connects the
brain with the rest of the nerves
in the body.
(PNS).
• The primary function of the
peripheral nervous system is to
connect the brain and spinal cord
to the rest of the body and the
external environment. The
peripheral nervous system
transmits information to and
from the CNS.
