Summary Introduction
The nervous and the endocrine systems are considered as the systems of coordination and messenger in the body. Both these systems work together to maintain harmony in the bodily movements. The nervous systems work with the help of electrical signals that move across the rich network of neurons. On the other hand, the endocrine system carries out its functions with the help of chemicals (hormones).
