Solution

Nervous System vs Hormone(Endocrine) System

Nervous System

Hormone System

Formed of a collection of neuron cells

Formed of a set of glands

Electrochemical pulses are the mean of signal transmission

Chemicals called hormones are the means of signal transmission

Signal transmission is fast but the functions are not prolonged

Signal transmission is slow, but the functions are long lasting

The cells are interconnected and the whole system is continuous

The organs of the whole system are not physically connected yet those are discrete

Use the neurons to transmit the signal

Use the circulatory system to transmit the signal
