Distinguish between the functions of hormone and nervous system on the following parameters: Nature of function Pace of function Time spans of function Fate

Feature Function of hormone Nervous system Nature of function There are special chemicals which act as hormones and provide chemical coordination, integration and regulation in the human body. These hormones regulate metabolism, growth and development of our organs, the endocrine glands or certain cells. The neural system provides a point-to-point rapid coordination among organs. Pace of function Can be slow The nervous system allows an organism to respond quickly to changes in the internal or external environment. Feature or Characteristic Functions of hormone Nervous System Time span of function Long-lasting Short-lived Fate The hormones bind to the target receptor that activates the enzymatic activity of the cell to bring about biochemical changes. They are excreted from human body after producing desired effects. Once they have been released and have bound to postsynaptic receptors, neurotransmitter molecules are immediately deactivated by enzymes in the synaptic cleft; they are also taken up by receptors in the pre-synaptic membrane and recycled.
