Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, whereas neurotransmitters’ effects are localized, the effects of hormones are widespread. Also, hormones are slower to take effect, and tend to be longer lasting.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers. They carry information and instructions from one set of cells to another. The endocrine (EN-duh-krin) system influences almost every cell, organ, and function of our bodies.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hormones work slowly, over time, and affect many different processes, including growth and development, metabolism – how your body gets energy from the foods you eat-sexual function, reproduction, and mood.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
