GPT-4o mini
The structures for carrying information all over your body are primarily the **nervous system** and the **endocrine system**.
1. **Nervous System**: This system transmits information through a network of neurons, which use electrical impulses and chemical signals (neurotransmitters) to communicate quickly between different parts of the body. It encompasses the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves that extend throughout the body).
2. **Endocrine System**: This system carries information through hormones, which are chemical messengers released into the bloodstream by glands (such as the thyroid, adrenal glands, and pituitary gland). These hormones travel to various organs and tissues, influencing processes such as metabolism, growth, and mood over a longer duration compared to nerve impulses.
Together, these systems coordinate bodily functions and maintain homeostasis by relaying and processing information throughout the organism.
