Nerves and Hormones
Nerves and hormones are fundamental components of the human body's intricate communication system. Nerves, comprised of specialized cells called neurons, transmit electrical signals rapidly throughout the body, facilitating sensory perception, motor function, and coordination. Meanwhile, hormones, secreted by various glands, serve as chemical messengers, regulating bodily processes such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction. Together, nerves and hormones orchestrate the complex interplay of physiological functions, ensuring homeostasis and enabling organisms to respond dynamically to internal and external stimuli. Understanding the roles and interactions of nerves and hormones is crucial in comprehending the mechanisms underlying human physiology and health.
