homeostasis

Homeostasis

Both hormones and nerves are examples of cell signalling, individuals communicate with others in a different location in the body.

Hormones transmit signal differently from nerves.

Chemical rather than electrical.

Through bloodstream rather than via nerves.

Hormones removed from the blood when used by target cells so action over a long period is possible.
