There are two systems that work with the endocrin system. The nervous system and the muscular system. The nervouse system acts with the endocrin system during certain situations. For example, if you were to stumble apon a snake the the nervouse system would send messages to your brain to either flee or to run. Your endocrin system would release hormones that make you scared. The hormones that are released are adrenaline. Then it works with your muscular system to either run or to fight the snake (fight or flight).


 * What the endocrine system does.

The endocrine system secretes hormones into the bloodstream as the bodies chemical messengers transfer the information and instrustions from one set of cells to another. [|www.Kidshealth.org]
