Nervous System & Endocrine
System
Nervous System: Sending messages fast but they
don’t last long
Endocrine System: Sending messages slowly but
they last a long time

•Glands & Hormones of the Endocrine System
Endocrine System
Uses hormones that travel through the bloodstream. Takes
longer to get there but lasts a long time

The Nervous System:
Sends messages quickly but they don’t last long.
Broken into two parts:
• Central Nervous System (CNS)
– Brain and spinal cord
• Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
– Carries messages to and from CNS
The Nervous System: It breaks down into two parts.
Central nervous

nervous system
Sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions
of the nervous system
Summary of autonomic
differences
Autonomic nervous system controls physiological arousal
Sympathetic
division (arousing)
Pupils dilate
Parasympathetic
division (calming)
EYES
Pupils contract
