The process in which several body systems work together to maintain the balanced environment is called homeostasis. The endocrine and nervous system work closely together to help maintain homeostasis. Examples of where they work together are thermoregulation and osmoregulation.
How does the endocrine system work with signals? Glands of the endocrine system receive signals from outside stimuli. When a particular gland determines it is time to release a hormone, it signals other glands and hormone-producing agents to likewise release signals. This is called an axis. Each gland and organ work in unison to achieve a goal.
