How does chemical coordination take place in animals?
Chemical coordination takes place in animals by the chemical messengers called hormones, which are secreted by the endocrine glands or occurs by the nervous system.
Hypothalamus is the important part in intergrating the nervous and endocrine system.
When endocrine glands secrete hormones, neurosecretory cells are present in the brain which secrets the neurotransmitters. And these chemical messengers get converted into electrical signals and goes into muscles or glands for the movement or for the growth and development of an animal.
