Neuroendocrine System

Meaning

The Neuroendocrine System represents the integrated biological apparatus where neurons communicate directly with the endocrine system via the secretion of chemical messengers into the bloodstream. This system includes the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, and gonads, forming the axis that controls many fundamental homeostatic processes. It is the primary interface translating neural activity into hormonal action.
