Control by the endocrine system usually acts for a longer period of time than control by the nervous system.
True or False?
The nervous system is the system which is responsible for maintaining the coordination among all other systems. The organs making up the central nervous system are the brain and the spinal cord, the sensory organs. The specialized cells which make up the nervous system are the neurons. The cell to cell communication between the neurons is achieved by the action potential. This action potential generates electrical signals which are transmitted from one neuron to the other. The endocrine system is a system of glands that regulate the physiological processes by synthesizing and secreting hormones. The hormones act as the chemical messengers in the body and are released by the endocrine glands (ductless glands) into the blood. These hormones are very specific in their functionality and only target the specific organs. Both the nervous and endocrine systems function in coordination with each other to regulate physiological processes and other bodily functions.
