Question 11(Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

Answer 1

Neural: faster and shorter in duration

Endocrine: slower and longer in duration

Step-by-step explanation:

The nervous system is responsible for transmitting nerve impulses through the molecules that manufacture and secrete neurons, called neurotransmitters. This information is transmitted through the nervous way

The responses of the nervous system are fast, brief and very specific, associated with responses of movement and sensory perception

The endocrine system is characterized because it controls its functions through chemicals called hormones. It is responsible for very diverse functions, associated with metabolism and growth.

These responses tend to be slower than those of the nervous system but of longer duration, since it comprises functions that are regulated slowly.
