    2. I. Function: A. Two systems in the body are responsible for integration = regulation of other body systems Nervous System Endocrine System B. Why are regulatory systems needed? maintenance of homeostasis

    3. How do the Nervous and Endocrine Systems Differ? Nervous System Rapid acting Involved in control of things that change over short time periods (seconds to minutes) Examples – Heart rate Respiration Voluntary muscle contractions Endocrine System More slowly acting Involved in control of things that change over long time periods (minutes to years) Examples – Growth reproduction
