Both statements are correct

Activities that take place beyond the conscious level are controlled by the autonomous nervous system, a part of the peripheral nervous system.

The endocrine system includes all the glands in our body that make hormones which are the chemical messengers. It controls hunger, reproduction, emotions, moods etc.
