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  
🗑
