Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The endocrine system may have a longer lasting effect due to the slow release of hormones into the bloodstream, which can have effects on the body for hours, days, or even longer. In contrast, the nervous system typically has more immediate effects, but those effects may be shorter-lived. None of the other answer choices are accurate; the endocrine system does use receptors, the release of hormones can take seconds or much longer depending on the situation, and the endocrine system is essential to life.
