Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The characteristic of having a brief duration of action, measured in milliseconds, applies to the nervous system. This is because the transmission of signals through neurons is very fast, allowing for rapid responses to stimuli. In contrast, the endocrine system uses hormones that take longer to circulate in the bloodstream and exert their effects, so the duration of their action tends to be longer.
