ACTIVITY TITLE: Comparison of Endocrine and Nervous Systems

While both the endocrine and nervous systems work toward the same goal—homeostasis—their methods differ. In the
following list, highlight the actions of the endocrine system in blue and the actions of the nervous system in yellow on
the boxes provided.

1. Employs hormones to relay messages

2. Secretes neurotransmitters into tiny space of a synapse

3. Adapts slowly to continual stimulation

4. Responds to stimuli quickly (milliseconds)

5. Exerts short-lived effects

6. Adapts quickly to continual stimulation

7. Responds slowly to stimuli (seconds to days)

8. Distributes hormones throughout the body via the bloodstream

9. Exerts long-lasting effects

10. Employs neurotransmitters to relay messages
