ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

2. ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
The nervous system and the
endocrine system work together
To regulate the activities of the
other systems in the body.
Both systems use chemical signals
when they respond to changes.
But they have different means of
delivering the signals

3. Differences between the CNS and the
endocrine system
Central nervous
system
Endocrine system
Transmits electro-
chemical impulses
Transmits chemical
biological messenges
Impulse send through
neurons through
neurotransmitters
Transmits message
through bloodstream
by means of
hormones
Fast reaction Slow reaction
Reaction doesn’t last Reaction lasts a long

4. ENDOCRINE GLANDS
Endocrine system consist of different
endocrine glands in the body.
Endocrine glands are ductless .
And produce and secrete hormones.
That are transported through the blood
in the blood vessels of the body.
Towards a specific target organ where it
has a specific function.
