MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The basic similarities between the nervous and the endocrine systems are that they provide the body with methods to communicate with its internal and external environments in order to coordinate responses. They both employ chemicals to transmit messages and respond to stimulus caused by changes in their environments.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like the nervous system, the endocrine system is a regulatory system. However, instead of using electrical impulses for signaling, it produces and uses chemical signals called hormones, which travel through the bloodstream and control the actions of cells and organs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The nervous system and endocrine system are both involved in maintaining homeostasis, or stable internal conditions within the body. The primary difference between the two is that the nervous system has acute, rapid effects whereas the endocrine system has longer-lasting, more general effects.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hypothalamus is involved in many functions of the autonomic nervous system, as it receives information from nearly all parts of the nervous system. As such, it is considered the link between the nervous system and the endocrine system. You can learn more by reading a SpineUniverse article about the nervous system.
