Question
Chapter 16.1, Problem 2CYP
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The functions and signals of the endocrine and system.
Introduction:
The nervous and endocrine system sends signals and act on the effector organ. The endocrine system functions by a chemical substance like hormones and the nervous system send electrical impulse by neurotransmitters. The endocrine and nervous system controls various activities of the body.

Students have asked these similar questions
The nervous and endocrine systems work together to maintain homeostasis. These two systems differ in terms of method of communication, speed of communication, duration of response, target pathway, and actions of effectors.Select the FOUR statements below that describe the endocrine system.
Sends hormones via the bloodstream
Sends hormones via neural pathways or electrochemical transmission
Fast-acting (milliseconds)
Slow-acting (minutes/hours/days)
Causes glands to secrete or muscles to contract
Causes changes in metabolic activities
Acts on specific glands or muscles
Sends hormones to a broad range of target cells
List the similarities among and differences between the nervous and endocrine systems with regard to the control of homeostasis.
Compare the nervous and endocrine systems in terms of action, effect, duration of action, molecules, and types of target cells.
