Question

How does neural transmission compare to endocrine signal transmission?

Answer 1

Neural transmission:
1) is transmitted by neurones.
2) quick response
3) involves neurones
4) short lived
5) may be voluntary or involuntary
6) usually localised

Endocrine signal transmission:
1) transmitted by blood
2) usually slow responses
3) involves hormones
4) may be short lived or long lived
5) involuntary
6) may affect more than one target organ

Answer 2

Hormones are chemicals from endocrine glands, and neurotransmitters are chemical signals from neurons. Hormones are electric impulses sent from endocrine glands, and action potentials are electric signals sent through neurons. Endocrine glands and neurons both send their messages through the bloodstream. Endocrine glands and neurons both use electrical signals. I think it might the both common is using electric signal. Most neurons have only one axon. An axon is the part of the neuron that transmits nerve signals away from the soma to other neurons ....Endocrine signaling occurs when endocrine cells release hormones that act on distant target cells in the body.
