Neuroendocrine System

Meaning

The Neuroendocrine System is the integrated biological apparatus composed of nerve cells that produce and release hormones and the endocrine glands that are regulated by these neural signals. This system serves as the body’s primary command and control center, seamlessly integrating sensory information with internal physiological states to regulate complex functions like metabolism, reproduction, growth, and stress response. Its proper function is foundational to overall health and adaptive capacity.
