ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The signal transmission of the nervous system is fast because neurons are interconnected, but the functions are more short-lived. Signal transmission in the endocrine system is slow, since hormones must travel through the bloodstream, but the responses tend to last longer.

Detailed explanation-2: -The endocrine system causes slower responses than the nervous system, but the responses last for longer. There are important differences between hormonal control caused by the endocrine system, and nervous control.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hormones are released from the endocrine cell into the extracellular environment, but then travel in the bloodstream to target tissues. This communication and response can take seconds to days.

Detailed explanation-4: -It depends solely on ducts for the transportation of its secretions to the target cells. The transportation of the hormones is slower than that of exocrine system. The transportation of secretions is faster than that of the endocrine system. Endocrine glands secrete hormones.

Detailed explanation-5: -Does the nervous system or the endocrine system react faster to external/ internal stimuli? The nervous system reacts faster to external and internal stimuli.
