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.
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) Crepusculum (:
What advantage does the nervous system have over the endocrine system?
The messages of the nervous system are relayed by nervous impulses, which are very fast and short-acting. In contrast, the messages of the endocrine system are sent via chemical messengers (hormones) distributed by the circulatory system. This distribution in your blood is much slower than the electrical impulses of the nervous system.
What body system had various glands that regulate different bodily functions by secreting chemical messengers into the bloodstream?
The body's chemical communication system that is much slower than the nervous system is called the endocrine system. Both systems are similar because they have messengers traveling throughout the body.
Does the endocrine system work faster than the nervous system?
nope. nervous system is much faster.
Why is chemical signaling between cells better than nervous signaling?
It depends. Are you hungry? Nerves won't tell you that. Is your hand on fire? In this case, you might consider nerve cells to be better at signalling.
Which is faster Endocrine function compared to nervous function?
Nervous is much faster. Impulse transmission happens in mSecs to seconds, hormones are usually agonists of nuclear receptors, and affect gene transcription, which takes hours to days to take full effect.
Which two systems regulate and control the body's functions?
The systems controlling the whole human system are the vital systems in the body...they are:Airway&Breathing > Respiratory SystemCirculation >CardioVascular systemAbove two system form the ABC of Resucitation & for Maintainance of LifeThe Integrity & functional preservation of Central Nervous System are maintained by the above two systems.Preservation of Central Nervous System is the basis for a gud quality of life.
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.
What are the two systems that control body systems?
there are way more than two, but i think you mean the endocrine and nervous systems
Why can an organ be part of more than one organ system?
HYPOTHALAMUS - both endocrine and nervous systems PINEAL GLAND - both endocrine and nervous systems SPLEEN - both cardiovascular and immune systems URETHRA - both urinary (excretory) and reproductive systems
Which is not true about multipath signaling?
Multipath signaling uses less energy and results in clearer reception than line-of-sight signaling.
