Question

How are the nervous system and endocrine system similar? how are the nervous system and endocrine system similar? the nervous system works antagonistically to the endocrine system to achieve homeostasis. cells of both the nervous system and the endocrine system release chemicals to communicate with cells. both the nervous system and the endocrine system operate over a series of neurons to directly affect target cells. effects of both the nervous system and the endocrine system are immediate and short-lasting?

Answer 1

I think the similarity of nervous system and the endocrine system is that the cells of both the nervous system and the endocrine system release chemicals to communicate with cells.  Both systems are devoted to maintaining homeostasis by coordinating and regulating the activities of other cells, tissues, organs, and systems. Both systems are regulated by negative feedback mechanisms. Chemical messengers are important in both systems, but their method of transmission and release differs in the two systems.
