endrocrine vs nervous system
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| endocrine system consists of | endocrine glands (specialized ductless glands) that secrete hormones that travel through the bloodstream to signal specific target cells throughout the body. |
| endocrine system hormones travel | throughout the body to the target organs upon which they act. They will bind selectively to receptor sites on the surface of the receptor cells. |
| endocrine system and nervous system | both function to achieve and maintain stability of the internal environment (homeostasis). |
| endocrine system and nervous system are | capable of working alone or in concert with each other. |
| The endocrine and nervous systems work together to regulate | metabolism, response to stress, sexual reproduction, blood pressure, and water and salt balances. |
| endocrine system Secreting cells | send hormones through the bloodstream to signal specific target cells |
| endocrine system Hormones diffuse into the blood and | travel long distances to virtually every area of the body |
| Endocrine effectors consist of | virtually all tissues |
| endocrine system Regulatory effects are | slow and tend to last for long periods |
| Nervous System Neurons | secrete neurotransmitters to signal nearby cells that have an appropriate receptor site |
| Nervous System Neurotransmitters | are sent very short distances across a synapse |
| Nervous System Nervous effectors are | limited to muscle and glandular tissue |
| Nervous System Regulatory effects | appear rapidly and are often short lived |
