Question

Describe two ways in which communication in the endocrine system and in the nervous system are different and one way in which they are similar.

Answer 1

The two ways the endocrine system and the nervous system are different in communication, is that the nervous system responds rapidly to short-term changes in the body by sending electrical impulses. And with the endocrine system, it takes longer, so it's a long-term effect until it notices any changes and when it does, it sends chemical messengers known as hormones into the body.

Now, how they are similar, is because both the nervous and endocrine systems work together to maintain homeostasis.
