Coordination
Coordination
The process where different organs work together to maintain a stable internal environment (homeostasis).
Neural System
Neural System
A network of specialized cells (neurons) that transmit information quickly throughout the body. This system allows for rapid, directed communication.
Endocrine System
Endocrine System
A system of glands that produce hormones, which act as chemical messengers, to regulate slower, long-lasting processes in the body.
