Introduction to Control Systems

Describe the nervous, endocrine, reproductive, and sensory systems

The first set of body systems we’ll learn about have been grouped together as the “control systems.” It is important to remember that this isn’t a hard-and-fast categorization: we’ve simply grouped these systems together to help you organize your learning. These control systems all function in roles that control the signals that direct your body’s actions.
