Endocrine vs Nervous System

Submitted by cslavin on Fri, 02/08/2019 - 13:27

The main function of the nervous and endocrine system is communication between tissues. The two systems work to complete that function in different ways. The nervous system acts fast to make localized responses, while the endocrine system is slow and makes global responses. The nervous system typicially responds to one area of the body. For example, skeletal muscle will react to a stimuli and imediately illicit a responses. The endocrine system releases hormones into the blood stream. They circulate the body and activate cells with receptors for that horomone.
