The endocrine system gets support from the kidney, liver, heart and gonads, which have secondary endocrine functions. The kidney, for example, secretes hormones such as erythropoietin and renin, this was mentioned in lecture.

The thyroid also secretes a range of hormones that affect the whole body. "Thyroid hormones impact vital body functions, including heart rate, skin maintenance, growth, temperature regulation, fertility and digestion," mentioned the lecture.

The thyroid gland is the body's master metabolic control centre. The endocrine system is made up of the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries (in females) and testicles (in males), according to the lecture.

The gland selects and removes materials from the blood, processes them and secretes the finished chemical product for use somewhere in the body. The endocrine system affects almost every organ and cell in the body and the hormones circulate throughout the body, each type of hormone is targeted toward certain organs and tissues.

The hormones circulate throughout the body, each type of hormone is targeted toward certain organs and tissues. The endocrine system gets some help from organs such as  the kidney, liver, heart and gonads, which have secondary endocrine functions. The kidney, for example, secretes hormones such as erythropoietin and renin.

Other parts of the nervous system control automatic forms, such as the discharge of hormones like adrenaline, enlargement of the eye in reaction to light, or direction of the stomach related nervous, which are included within the work of the body’s organs and organs.

The brain is made up of numerous systems of communicating neurons. In this way, distinctive parts of the brain can “talk” to each other as well as work together to send messages to the rest of the body.

# data[].attributes.body
Motor neurons transmit messages from the brain to control intentional development. Sensory neurons identify approaching light, sound, odour, taste, weight, and heat and send messages to the brain.

# data[].attributes.body
The neurotransmitters are discharged into the space between the end of an axon and the tip of a dendrite from another neuron. This space is called a neural connection. The neurotransmitters travel the travel through the neural connection to the dendrite. The dendrite gets the neurotransmitters and changes over them back into an electrical signal. The signal then goes through the neuron, to be changed over back into a chemical signal when it gets to neighbouring neurons.

A neuron is essential working unit of the nervous system cell. The human brain contains almost 100 billion neurons. A neuron comprises of a cell body containing the nucleus, and extraordinary expansions called axons and dendrite.

Neurons communicate with each other utilizing axons and dendrites. When a neuron gets a message from another neuron, it sends an electrical indication down the length of its axon. At the end of the axon, the electrical signals is changed over into a chemical indicator, and the axon discharges chemical massages called neurotransmitters.

The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord.

The peripheral nervous system is made up of the nerve fibres which are spread from the spinal cord, then to all parts of the body. This includes the neck, arms, torso, legs, skeletal muscles and internal organs.

The brain sends messages through the spinal cord and nerves of the peripheral nervous system to control the movement of the muscles and the function of internal organs.

# data[].attributes.body
The functions of the nervous system have two main parts, they are the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.

•Spinal Cord - Conducts signals to and from the brain controls reflex activities

•Brain - Receives and processes sensory information,  initiates responses, stores, memories generates thoughts and emotions.
