All of the following are similarities between nervous and endocrine system except:_____________?
Correct answer: D. Having slow but prolonged effects
- A. Produce chemical messengers
- B. Release chemical messengers in extracellular space
- C. Homestatic in function
- D. Having slow but prolonged effects
Explanation
Both nervous and endocrine systems coordinate body functions using chemical messengers released into extracellular spaces and help maintain homeostasis. Nervous responses are usually rapid and short-lived, whereas endocrine responses are generally slower and more prolonged. The likely alternative is b, but both systems do release their messengers into extracellular fluid before they reach target cells.

About Chemical Coordination and Hormones
Chemical coordination uses hormones released by endocrine glands and carried in blood to specific target cells. Coverage includes the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes, feedback control, and the contrast between slower, longer-lasting hormonal responses and rapid nervous coordination.
