An organism has various organs that must be carefully controlled and coordinated for its survival. In the body, various fluids are secreted from the endocrine system's glands. These hormones are responsible for the overall growth and development of an organism. The central nervous system (CNS) controls all other daily decisions, including voluntary and involuntary actions.
