Select one answer.

• The endocrine system uses hormones for signaling, while the nervous system uses neurotransmitters.
• The endocrine system uses electrical signals, while the nervous system uses chemical signals.
• The nervous system generates responses that take longer to occur compared to the endocrine system.
• Both systems use hormones for signaling but at different speeds.

Select one answer.

• The nervous system has no influence on pituitary gland secretions.
• The nervous system controls pituitary secretions through adrenal gland signals.
• The hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary gland through releasing and inhibiting hormones.
• The pituitary gland secretes hormones independently of the nervous system.
