Question
Chapter 6, Problem 16RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The comparison between the advantages and disadvantages of the neural and endocrine system.
Introduction: Neural control mainly involves the transmission of signaling molecules through various nerves. Endocrine system signals the body by streaming hormones in the blood. Both, neural control and endocrine system, can work together as a neuroendocrine system.
