How does the nervous system react to stimuli compared to the endocrine system?

I am currently studying this in Biology 3/4.
The endocrine system is slower than the nervous system because hormones must travel through the circulatory system (bloodstream) to reach their target whereas the nervous system acts by using neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) which act impulsively (no delay)

∙ 12y agoThe endocrine system is a group of various glands and hormones that help your body respond and function properly. For example, the endocrine system helps with the normal body activities for instance, the sleeping cycle. The nervous system: well I really don't know because I have'nt learned about that material yet in my science class. Sorry for the inconvience!! Probally look on a different website

If endocrine responses are slower than the nervous system responses what is one reason why they are still usefull quizlet

Which system controls the endocrine system?
Endocrine is the correct answer for Apex
Which two organ systems are most important in maintaining homeostasis?
The nervous and endocrine systems bear the major responsibility for ensuring homeostasis.
What are two systems involved in coordinating the functioning of the human body?
The nervous system and the endocrine system regulate the activities of all of the systems in the human body.
What two organ most directly regulates the body system?
Negative feedback mechanism is used by two body systems: the nervous system and the endocrine system. The nervous system is the quick one and uses an intricate circuitry of neurons and your brain to respond to changes. The endocrine system is the slow one and is made up of endocrine glands that secrete hormones to counter changes.
Why is the nervous system so slow compared to the endodrine system?
It's not, the nervous system is much faster than the endocrine system.The nature of the messages. The nervous system's messages are transported as electrical impulses/neurotransmitters, whereas the endocrine system transports messages as hormonesThe transport of the messages. The messages in the nervous system are transported along the membrane of neurons. The endocrine system transports hormones though the bloodstreamBecause of this, the nervous system usually produces a response within milliseconds, whereas the endocrine system may take seconds to days to respond. The duration of the response also differs between the two systems, the nervous system stops quickly after the stimulant stops, but the endocrine response may continue after the stimulus is removed.
Which system controls the endocrine system?
Endocrine is the correct answer for Apex
What are the two systems of the body involved in the indirect communication of cells?
endocrine (slow chemical messages, transported in the blood) or nervous (extremley fast electical messages transported via neurones)
Which two organ systems are most important in maintaining homeostasis?
The nervous and endocrine systems bear the major responsibility for ensuring homeostasis.
What is internal stimuli and external stimuli?
Nervous System
Does the nervous system works through the secretion of neurons?
Yes. This is usually compared to the endocrine system, which works through secretion of hormones.
What are two systems involved in coordinating the functioning of the human body?
The nervous system and the endocrine system regulate the activities of all of the systems in the human body.
What is the three differences in the behavior of the regulatory functions of the nervous and endocrine systems?
The endocrine systems work with the nervous system but they have a few different functions. The endocrine systems use hormones not nerves, the endocrine system is slower than the nervous system because it flows through the blood not the nerves, and the endocrine system also has gland and the nervous system does not.
What do both the endocrine and nervous systems allow you to do?
The endocrine and nervous systems allow your body to regulate body functions. The endocrine system does so through hormones, and the nervous system through nervous impulses.

What systems works closely with the endocrine system to coordinate the body's functions?
The system that works closely is the nervous system
Which system control the endocrine system?
Nervous
