What will be an ideal response?
The nervous system releases neurotransmitter into synapses that act over short distance. It produces rapid responses (milliseconds) that last for a brief period of time (milliseconds). Neural responses are rapid and precise. Endocrine system releases hormones into the blood that act over long distances. The response is slow (minutes to hours) and lasts for an extended period of time (minutes to days). Hormones control activity that requires long-duration responses
