Detailed explanation-1: -What is/are the advantage(s) of the endocrine system over the nervous system? Higher reach of chemical messengers over nerve signalling. Sustained stimulation by chemical messengers. Ensures messages for continuous processes like growth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Responses to nervous system stimulation are typically quick but short lived. The endocrine system responds to stimulation by secreting hormones into the circulatory system that travel to the target tissue. Responses to endocrine system stimulation are typically slow but long lasting.
