Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The endocrine system secretes hormones that travel through the bloodstream to target cells, which can take minutes to days or even longer to have an effect. The nervous system, on the other hand, can produce much faster responses in a matter of milliseconds or seconds. Therefore, the characteristic of long speed of response applies only to the endocrine system.
