Summary Introduction
To review:
The functional differences between the endocrine and nervous systems.
Introduction:
The nervous system and endocrine system both are basically messenger systems in nature. The nervous system uses sensory neurons to receive information, the central nervous system (CNS) to process the information, and motor neurons to order action on the information. The endocrine system secretes hormones, which act as messengers to achieve various functions.
