Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 27E
Compare long-distance communication by the nervous and endocrine systems with respect to anatomy, speed, and mechanisms of action.
Expert Solution & Answer
Trending nowThis is a popular solution!
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
Describe how the nervous system and the endocrine system work together in the
fight-flight response. Be specific with what parts of the nervous system are at play,
the signal pathway, what is released/secreted and what response they create.
List the similarities among and differences between the nervous and endocrine systems with regard to the control of homeostasis.
