Responding to the stimulating and fine discussion on the cells/body
metaphor...

I have a question which I have not been able to find good resource
material for....

There are many parallel systems in the body.... circulatory, nervous,
endochrine, immune... and so on, I like to call them co-systems. Most if
not all of these co-systems are in network or connected tree structures in
my understanding. Can anyone tell me informally and/or via references
what are the various mechanisms which connect and coordinate these
co-systems?

My reason for exploring this, is that I find it useful to view both the
organization and systems models from this co-system viewpoint.

Thanks in advance for any help. Doug
