Summary Introduction
To review:
The term hormone and the hormones secreted by muscle cells or by a neuron.
Introduction:
The nervous system and the endocrine system together regulate all body functions. The amount of nutrients present in the blood should be maintained to a set point or amount according to there requirement in the body. The increase and decrease in these values result in harmful conditions in the body. The endocrine and nervous system stimulation regulates the value of different molecules in the blood plasma.
