Chapter 16, Problem 3RFT
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).

When he was 14, he was diagnosed with Lyme disease and treated, and although many symptoms improved, his headaches and overall fatigue did not. When his headaches worsened, he was sent for an extensive battery of blood tests. Signs and SymptomsWhen asked about other symptoms, Brian described a constant ringing in his ears and frequent red eyes that sometimes caused vision problems. Despite his ongoing physical problems, until recently he had been able to maintain high grades in school (although there were times when he needed to be tutored at home) and had achieved Eagle Scout status. TestingBlood smears were prepared and stained with Wright-Giemsa stain for a "differential" count of different types of white blood cells. The technologist who viewed the slide noted several purple-stained, crescent-shaped objects that appeared to be cells with a nucleus. Red blood cells are generally 7–8 µm in…arrow_forward
