Detailed explanation-1: -Brain and the spinal cord constitute the nervous system. Glands and organs like thyroid, pituitary glands and reproductive organs (ovaries and testes) are involved in the endocrine system. Nerve impulses are transmitted through neurons. Hormones are transmitted through blood vessels.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hypothalamus: The hypothalamus (pronounced: hi-po-THAL-uh-mus) is in the lower central part of the brain. It links the endocrine system and nervous system. Nerve cells in the hypothalamus make chemicals that control the release of hormones secreted from the pituitary gland.
Detailed explanation-3: -The hormone can also create changes in the cells of surrounding tissues (paracrine effect). The endocrine system works with the nervous system and the immune system to help the body cope with different events and stresses.
Detailed explanation-4: -Endocrine and Nervous Systems Because if anything, your body has two bosses-two complimentary systems that are constantly shouting instructions over each other to all your bits and pieces.
