TASK 2
Introduction
Endocrine system is a structure which involves the transmission of the chemical messages
named as hormone from its secretion site which is termed as glands to the target organ, tissue
or cells to regulate and control the effective and balance working of the human body.
Nervous system is the complex and the most critical system of the body which coordinates
the actions of the body via muscles and organ functions by transmitting and processing the
signals or messages received from the stimuli (Tortora, 2016).
This report discusses about the endocrine system and the nervous system. It gives an insight
about their anatomy, function and their way of working to control the body functions. It also
focuses on the major working of the metabolic function such as body temperature, fight or
fight and blood sugar level regulation in the body.
Section 1
Brain is a vital organ that controls all the functions of the body. It interprets the information
that is received to the five sense organs that are essential part of the body from the stimuli and
generates responses. Memory, intelligence, coordination, and all the actions happening to the
body is controlled by the brain. It is very delicate and sensitive organ hence it is covered in
the skeletal cage know as skull. Brain consists of three parts at top cerebrum, below it is
cerebellum & then brainstem. Cerebrum is the largest part and is divided into right and left
zone or hemispheres. Cerebellum is positioned just below the cerebrum while the brainstem
act as a link to connect cerebrum, cerebellum and spinal cord (Hines, 2018).
(Helseth & Lote, 2012)
Spinal cord is a main and focused part of CNS. It is positioned inside the vertebral column. It
is in extension with the brainstem. The spinal cord has two composition gray & white matter
like other parts of the CNS. Its surfaces are divided into four major parts namely anterior,
posterior and two lateral parts.
