Human Science – CHAPTER 1 1. Which Organ system maintains a relatively slow-acting degree of control over most bodily functions? Endocrine System (hormones act in minutes to hours‚ in contrast to nerve impulses‚ which act in fractions of a second). 2. The esophagus and the trachea run side-by-side through the thorax. In which systems are these organs found? The esophagus belongs to the digestive system‚ and the trachea belongs to the respiratory system. (The esophagus carries food to the stomach

The Endocrine System System Although we rarely think about them‚ the glands of the endocrine system and the hormones they release influence almost every cell‚ organ‚ and function of our bodies. The endocrine system is instrumental in regulating mood‚ growth and development‚ tissue function‚ and metabolism‚ as well as sexual function and reproductive processes. In general‚ the endocrine system is in charge of body processes that happen slowly‚ such as cell growth. Faster processes like breathing

THE NERVOUS AND THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM. Humans need both the Nervous and the Endocrine systems basically because they do different things in different ways. They both have a co-ordination role and send instructions to other parts of the body. The nervous system does this by way of neurotransmitters‚( chemical messengers)‚ which are able to get messages through at very high speeds‚ and the endocrine system by way of hormones‚( also chemical messengers)‚ which are released from glands and travel

Chapter 46: Organization of endocrine control Two major systems evolved to communicate and coordinate body functions Nervous system Endocrine system Hormones are carried through the blod to distant target tissue where they are recognized by specific‚ high-affinity receptors These receptors may be located either on the surface of target tissue‚ within the cytosol‚ or in the target cell’s nucleus Once a hormone is recognized by its target tissue or tissues‚ it can exert its biologic action by

The Endocrine system helps to maintain homeostasis by secreting hormones into the bloodstream‚ which travels throughout the body. This system regulates activities such as growth and development and influence emotions and behavior. The relationship of this system alongside the other body systems is how the body maintain a stable equilibrium‚ regulating the activity of the organ systems. Nervous - The endocrine system acts as a communication tool within the human body‚ working alongside with the nervous

Hormones and the Endocrine System 26.1 Chemical and electrical signals coordinate body functions The Endocrine System is a group of interacting glands and tissues throughout the animal body that produce and secrete chemical to initiate and maintain body functions and activities. Chemical Signals -Hormones - are released into the bloodstream by endocrine cells and carried to all locations in the body Consists of all hormone secreting cells Works with the nervous system in regulating body activities
