constant level that is compatible with life.

II. CONTROL SYSTEMS OF THE BODY
● Thousands of control systems, at different levels

Figure 2. Nervous System[Handout]
→ Organ system
● Nervous system (electricity)
● Hormone Systems
→ Regulates muscular and secretory activities of the body
→ Endocrine glands
● Endocrine system (hormones)
◼ secrete hormones which are chemical messengers
→ Regulates metabolic activities of the body
released into the blood and act on distant sites
Hormones are the closest thing we have to magic; minute
amount of hormones can lead to such large effects
◼ Chemical messengers released into the blood and act on
distant sites
