    Study Notes

    Nervous System

    • Functions through electrical impulses and neurotransmitters.
    • Responsible for muscle contraction and glandular secretion.

    Endocrine System

    • Operates using chemical messengers called hormones.
    • Hormones regulate growth, development, and metabolic activities.

    Gland Types

    • Exocrine glands possess ducts to convey secretory products to a surface.
    • Examples of exocrine glands include sweat, sebaceous (oil), and mammary glands.

    Action Duration

    • The nervous system has a rapid action duration, while the endocrine system's effects last longer.

    Terminology

    • The Greek term 'endo' in 'endocrine' means "within" or "inside."

    Hormonal Action

    • Hormones exert their influence by binding to target cells, altering physiological functions and maintaining homeostasis.
