Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
the various systems within the body, two in particular, are fascinating both because of their complexity and because they are involved in every aspect of our physiology. These systems
are the endocrine system and the nervous system, systems that are similar to one another because they serve in sending signals to other parts of the body but systems that
are unique fron one another in the precise nature of their function and duty. I chose these systems to explore because they are the two that I know the
least about yet they are also the ones that I would like to learn the most about. The Endocrine System
As has been noted, the endocrine system is a type of signaling system. It consists of a series of glands whose function is to
produce hormones. These hormones are the bodys chemical messengers. The pituitary gland, the thyroid, and the adrenal glands are among the more commonly known endocrine glands. The
endocrine system is in control of much of our physiology. Endocrine glands differ from exocrine glands like salivary and sweat glands because they are more vascular and have
no ducts. The hormones that they produce are stored in their vacuoles or granules until it is released into the body to circulate through the blood vessels. Consider,
for example, the pancreas. The pancreas is formed of specialized cells, one type of which is the pancreatic iselets. These endocrine cells are located between the exocrine cells
of the pancreas. They, like all endocrine glands, secrete their products directly into the blood stream rather than through ducts. The major product of the pancreatic iselets is
