Zusammenfassung

Das endokrine System und das Immunsystem stellen zusammen mit dem Zentralnervensystem (ZNS) drei weitverzweigte Kommunikationsnetze unseres Organismus dar, über die zahlreiche Körperfunktionen gesteuert und überwacht werden. Während das ZNS elektrische Impulse generiert um Informationen innerhalb des ZNS zu verarbeiten und von Neuronen an nachgeordnete Körperzellen weiterzuleiten, produziert das endokrine System Hormone, welche als Botenstoff e des Körpers agieren. In enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem ZNS steuert das endokrine System nicht nur die offensichtlichen phänotypischen Entwicklungen des Menschen über die Lebensspanne, sondern es ist auch maßgeblich an der Veränderung funktioneller Eigenschaft en beteiligt. Das Immunsystem muss parallel mit sowohl zellulären und humoralen Abwehrprozessen dafür sorgen, dass die Integrität des Organismus in der Auseinandersetzung mit potenziell schädigenden Fremdkörpern (Antigenen) im sich entwickelnden bzw. alternden Menschen aufrechterhalten wird.
