| 11776444256 | the endocrine and nervous systems | work together | 0 | |
| 11776448404 | the endocrine system | hormones released into the bloodstream travel throughout the body | 1 | |
| 11776460125 | in the endocrine system, | results may take longer, but last longer | 2 | |
| 11776464370 | the nervous system | release neurotransmitters that excite or inhibit nerve, muscle, and gland cells | 3 | |
| 11776478764 | in the nervous system, | results in milliseconds, brief duration of effects | 4 | |
| 11776494168 | cell communication is necessary for | the integration of cell activities | 5 | |
| 11776498649 | gap junctions (direct signaling) | pores in cell membrane along which signaling chemicals move from cell to cell (smooth/cardiac muscle) | 6 | |
| 11776516736 | neurotransmitters | released from neurons to travel across to a postsynaptic cell | 7 | |
| 11776524159 | paracrine (local hormones) | secreted into tissue fluids to effect nearby cells which transfer information from cell to cell within a single tissue | 8 | |
| 11776578353 | hormones (strict definition) | chemical messengers that travel in the bloodstream and stimulate responses in another tissue or organ | 9 | |
| 11776656296 | means of communication: nervous system | has both electrical and chemical methods | 10 | |
| 11776659433 | means of communication: endocrine system | has only chemical methods | 11 | |
| 11776676307 | speed and persistence of response: nervous system | reacts quickly (1-10 sec) and stops quickly | 12 | |
| 11776676308 | speed and persistence of response: endocrine system | reacts slowly (hormone release in seconds or days) effect may continue for weeks | 13 | |
| 11776706245 | area of effect: nervous system | targeted and specific (one organ) | 14 | |
| 11776710692 | area of effect: endocrine system | may have general, widespread effects on many organs | 15 | |
| 11776737932 | several chemicals function as both hormones and neurotransmitters | norepinephrine and epinephrine | 16 | |
| 11776749520 | both system with overlapping effects on same target cells | norepinephrine and glucagon cause glycogen hydrolysis in liver | 17 | |
| 11776767567 | both systems | regulate each other | 18 | |
| 11776771639 | neurons can trigger | hormone secretion | 19 | |
| 11776776684 | hormones can | stimulate or inhibit neurons | 20 | |
| 11776788144 | exocrine gland | secrete their products into ducts which empty into body cavities or body surface | 21 | |
| 11776805912 | example of exocrine glands | sweat, oil, mucous, digestive glands | 22 | |
| 11776820779 | endocrine glands | secrete their products (hormones) into bloodstream | 23 | |
| 11776835197 | example of endocrine glands | pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pineal | 24 | |
| 11776852538 | other organs secrete hormones as a second function such as | hypothalamus, thymus, pancreas, ovaries, testes, kidneys, stomach, liver, small intestine, heart, placenta | 25 | |
| 11776890123 | endocrine glands help regulate | extracellular fluid metabolism biological clock contraction of cardiac and smooth muscle glandular secretion some immune functions growth and development reproduction | 26 | |
| 11776928358 | components of the endocrine system | hormone target cells endocrine glands | 27 | |
| 11776988533 | hormone | chemical messengers secreted into bloodstream, stimulates reponse in another tissue or organ | 28 | |
| 11776999906 | target cells | have receptors for hormone | 29 | |
| 11777004934 | endocrine glands produce | hormones | 30 | |
| 11777016606 | endocrine system includes | endocrine organs (thyroid, pineal, etc) and hormone producing cells in organ such as heart and small intestine | 31 |
