Hlight The nervous system and endocrine system play important roles in helping the body maintain homeostasis. The nervous
system processes input when something is out of its optimal range. The nervous system can then determine the best course
of action to correct the imbalance. Sometimes the nervous system stimulate the glands of the endocrine system to release
hormones and other times, it can cause a response such as shivering or sweating to help return the body to its steady state.
Calcium is a crucial nutrient used in many bodily processes from muscle contraction to blood clotting. The nervous and
endocrine system work hand in hand to control calcium levels throughout the body.
