What is the difference between the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system?
|
The main difference between these two systems is that the nervous system co-ordinates the body through electrical impulses whereas the endocrine system also co-ordinates bodily functions but is composed of glands that excrete hormones. The nervous system controls muscle movement, senses, heartbeat, breathing, digestion, memory and speech whilst the endocrine system controls levels of glucose in the blood, hydration levels, heat productivity, sexual maturity, sperm and egg production and growth of cells and tissues.

|
What are the two components of the diencephalon of the brain?
|
thalamus and hypothalamus. It functions as a relay system between sensory input neurons and other parts of the brain, as an interactive site for the central nervous and endocrine systems, and works in tandem with the limbic system.

Are lipid based hormones longer or shorter lasting than peptide based hormones?
|
Lipid based enter cell adn effects last longer.
Peptide based bind to recepor on outside of cell, are water based, effects are shorter.
