How does the nervous system transmit signals?

• Through blood vessels only

• Through chemical signals only

• Through chemical and electrical signals

• Through hormones only

The nervous system is divided into which two main parts?

• CNS and PNS

• Upper and lower regions

• Left and right hemispheres

• Anterior and posterior divisions

What is a key characteristic of endocrine system communication?

• It works faster than the nervous system

• It uses electrical signals

• It moves signals through the bloodstream

• Its organs are physically connected

Which system has an interconnected network of cells?

• Digestive system

• Nervous system

• Endocrine system

• Respiratory system

The endocrine system's method of communication is:

• Electrical signals only

• Chemical signals only

• Both electrical and chemical signals

• Mechanical signals only

Compared to the nervous system, the endocrine system works:

• At the same speed

• Much faster

• More slowly

• Only during sleep
