TWo fundamentally different types of cells exist. Procaryotic cells have a much simpler morphology than eucaryotic cells and lack a true membrane-delimited nucleus. All bacteria are procaryotic. In contrast, eucaryotic have a membrane enclosed nucleus; they are more complex morphologically and are usually larger than prokaryotes. Algae, fungi, protozoa higher plants, and animals are eucaryotic Procaryotic and eucaryotic cells differ in many other ways as well

In his Croonian Lectures, Starling considered the endo- crine and nervous systems as two distinct mechanisms for coordination and control of organ function. Thus, endocrinology found its first home in the discipline of mammalian physiology
