Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chemical messengers traveling long distances are primarily the function of the endocrine system, which uses hormones to affect target cells throughout the body. The nervous system primarily communicates through electrical and chemical signals across synapses, which are generally short-range. While both systems can influence the same target cells, the endocrine system is better suited for broader signaling.
