Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The endocrine system produces hormones that act on receptors throughout the body. The nervous system produces neurotransmitters that act on receptors on cells in close proximity, but it is the endocrine system that produces molecules that act throughout the body. The central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous system do not produce molecules that act on receptors elsewhere in the body.
