2.82 describe how responses can be controlled by nervous or by hormonal communication and understand the differences between the two systems

Differences:
-Hormones act slower and have a longer effect
-Hormones are transported via the blood stream and bind to receptors on the outside of cells
-Hormone molecules can cause chain reactions
-Nerves communicate through electrical impulses
-They both use they same transmitters, but use them in different way.
