The endocrine system helps to maintain homeostasis and metabolic functions allows the body to react to stress and regulates growth and development including sexual development. What are the similarities between the nervous system and the endocrine system Both the nervous system and endocrine system are devoted to maintaining homeostasis by coordinating and regulating the activities of other cells tissues organs and systems. Both systems are regulated by negative feedback mechanisms. Chemical messengers are important in both systems although their method of transmission and release differs in the two systems. How does the endocrine system differ from the nervous system Both the endocrine and nervous systems are regulatory systems that permit communication between cells tissues and organs. A major difference between the endocrine system and nervous system is the rate of response to a stimulus. In general the nervous system responds to a stimulus very rapidly often within a few milliseconds while it may take the endocrine system seconds and sometimes hours or even days to offer a response. Furthermore the chemical signals released by the nervous system typically act over very short distances a synapse while hormones in the endocrine system are generally carried by the blood to target organs. Finally the effects of the nervous system generally last only a brief amount of time while those of the en- 163 docrine system are longer lasting. Examples of endocrine control are growth and reproductive ability. What are the organs of the endocrine system The endocrine system consists of glands and other hormone-producing tissues. Glands are specialized cells that secrete hormones into the interstitial fluid. Hormones are then transported to the capillaries and circulated via the blood. The .
