Nervous and Endocrine Systems in Vertebrates
Nervous System
The nervous system collects various stimuli from both inside and outside the body through specialized neurons organized in receptors. External stimuli are detected by exteroceptors, while internal stimuli are detected by interoceptors. This information is transmitted to the central nervous system (CNS), which processes the information and generates a response. Organs that execute commands from the CNS are called effectors.

1. Single vs. Broadcast Streams
Single Subscription Streams
- Allow only one listener at a time.
- Ideal for sequential data processing (e.g., file reading, API calls).
- Example: File I/O, HTTP requests.
Broadcast Streams
- Allow multiple listeners simultaneously.
- Best for real-time data/event broadcasting (e.g., WebSocket updates, UI events).
- Example: Button clicks, live data updates.

What was once considered noble became negative, and vice-versa.
