In what way do the nervous and endocrine systems differ in a way

The nervous system communicates through electrical impulses and the communication is very fast. It works in a relay fashion, from point to point comparable to the way the old telephones systems used to work.

The endocrine system communicates by chemical signals via the bloodstream. Hormones are secreted into the blood and extra cellular fluids, then transported to target cells, which must bear a receptor to be able to bind to a specific hormone, and respond.

Hormones are chemical messengers secreted into blood or extracellular fluid that affect the function of other cells.

Endocrine communication is not quite as fast as the nervous system communication

"in a chemical synapse, neurotransmitters are spilled into the synaptic cleft by what action?"

34kurt

Starting from the triggering action potential, the membrane potential in the neuron will propagate from the dendrites to the cell body then to the axons where synaptic vesicles are located. The action potential will trigger an influx of calcium into the axon then calcium will bind to proteins that will move the synaptic vesicles to the synaptic cleft. The membrane of the synaptic vesicles will eventually join the membrane of the synapse and then the neurotransmitters inside the vesicles will be "spilled" into the synaptic cleft.
