How are the nervous system and endocrine system similar? how are the nervous system and endocrine system similar? the nervous system works antagonistically to the endocrine system to achieve homeostasis. cells of both the nervous system and the endocrine system release chemicals to communicate with cells. both the nervous system and the endocrine system operate over a series of neurons to directly affect target cells. effects of both the nervous system and the endocrine system are immediate and short-lasting?

Hormones are chemical molecules produced by endocrine glands. one such endocrine gland is the thyroid gland, which synthesizes the thyroid hormone, which in turn affects the heart muscles. which two statements describe the probable reason for the function of the hormone? the cells in the heart have specific receptors that allow for the intake of hormones. the heart and the endocrine glands have the exact same types of cells. all cells make the same types of hormones. thyroid hormones show their effect on the heart by means of specialized cells. thyroid cells and cardiac cells have different dna.
