How do the nervous system and the endocrine system work together to control the body? Explain with an example.

1. 1 · Open in one line. Control and coordination means making all organs work together at the right time; the nervous and endocrine systems do this.
2. 2 · Nervous system. Brain, spinal cord, sense organs and nerves; fast electrical messages: stimulus → receptor → sensory nerve → CNS → motor nerve → effector.
3. 3 · Endocrine system. Glands release hormones directly into the blood, which carries them to target organs; they control slower changes such as growth.
4. 4 · Give a daily-life example. Eating: the eyes see food, the brain moves the hand, digestive juices flow under nerves and hormones, and the hunger centre signals fullness.
5. 5 · Close in one line. So the two systems work as a team to keep the body running smoothly.

Scoring tip: Name both systems, say how each sends its message, and give one example in which both act.
