Noradrenalin is related to the sympathetic nervous system.

Therapy Yoga therapy is an ancient holistic system of recovery of the body. For proper functioning of the body‚ one needs to balance the operation of such systems as digestion and blood circulation‚ to establish the normal operation of the endocrine glands and the vestibular apparatus. In this case‚ the energy state of the tissues of the body depends on the good functioning of the nervous system. The practice of yoga is based on the use of asanas and pranayama.

The ear also contains a fluid that is vital for balance. ENDOCRINE SYSTEM -The endocrine system is a collection of glands that secrete chemical messages called hormones. The hormones pass through the blood to the target organ resulting in a chemical change in the body. EPITHELAIL TISSUE -Membranous tissue composed of one or more layers of

Exocrine: secrete their products into one or more ducts that open into the skin or mucous membranes. EXAMPLE: mammary glands- milk goes through the lactiferous duct for breast feeding. Endocrine: endocrine glands: don’t have ducts but secrete their products into the blood EXAMPLE: Pancreas releases insulin and
