Answer: brief ​fast acting; slow acting

​The nervous system is to brief ​fast acting as the endocrine system is to slow acting

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the nervous system involves transmission of electrical impulses and chemical substances while the endocrine system involves transmission of chemical substances (hormones) only in the blood stream, the nervous system effect is faster and short-lived while the endocrine system effect is slower and long-lasting.
