Nervous and Endocrine Systems
The nervous system’s purpose is to generate responses that provide protection. It is based on the body’s ability to respond to stimuli. Stimuli that humans and animals respond to may be of two types:
- Internal: Not visible (e.g., changes in temperature).
- External: Can be observed (e.g., responses to light).
The endocrine system complements the nervous system. It works via hormones produced by endocrine glands. These hormones travel through the blood to an organ or tissue

Chromatin Composition and Structure
Chromatin is a molecular complex composed of DNA and proteins, primarily histones, which are permanent components throughout the cell’s life. Other molecules transiently associate with chromatin during cell formation, including various types of RNA (rRNA, tRNA, and mRNA), enzymes involved in transcription and replication (polymerases), enzymes involved in condensation cycles, and enzymes that regulate gene expression. Therefore, chromatin is a dynamic structure.
The composition of chromatin is: RNA
