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

Disorders of the Nervous System The way we think‚ our emotions‚ and the ability of our body to tell itself to move all connect back to the nervous system. If one part is not connected to another or if something never developed properly it can create a major problem. Disorders can occur within the brain or can be malfunctions of the nerves. Disorders can range from Palsy and Parkinson’s in which symptoms are movements such as tremors to Alzheimer’s which is mental deterioration and loss of memory

You can call them specialized cells in which includes the units of info-development in our brain‚ are very responsible for the perception and the transportation of information. Each part of the neuron has a very important role providing information in the whole body. The most important parts of a neuron are: a cell body‚ dendrites‚ and an axon. • Cell Body‚ also

Lab IX: Nervous System Histology and Spinal Cord Part II: Neurons and nerve struture 1.) There are three types of neurons. The first is the multipolar‚ which is the most common‚ and they are found as motor neurons and interneurons throughout the central nervous system. The second type of neuron is the unipolar neuron‚ which are also called psuedounipolar neurons. They are found as spinal and cranial sensory neurons. The last neuron is the bipolar neuron. They are only found in olfactory‚ visual

Compare and Contrast Sommia Khan Dr. Doumen Exocrine versus Endocrine glands: The similarities between exocrine and endocrine glands are that they are both glandular tissues. Glandular tissues are generally composed of cuboidal cell or columnar cell. Exocrine glands release substances like sweat and saliva through ducts on to the surface of the body. Exocrine glands include merocrine sweat glands‚ apocrine sweat glands and holocrine glands. Merocrine sweat glands‚ also known as eccrine sweat glands
