The two organ systems responsible for controlling other body systems are the nervous system and the endocrine (hormone) system.
How do different body systems communicate?
The nervous system and the endocrine (hormone) system regulate the other body processes with the help of chemical and electrical signals that pass between different cells.
The nervous system utilizes special cells called the neurons to send signals or messages all over your body.
These electrical signals travel to different organs and help you to move your limbs and feel sensations, like touch and pain.
The glands of the endocrine system release hormones which control all the body processes.
These hormones regulate growth and development, metabolism, reproduction, mood, emotions and reproduction.
Nervous system acts faster but their functions are short lived than the endocrine system.
