Endocrine and Nervous Systems - 2 Different "Lifestyles"

The 2 main systems for transmitting information and messages throughout the body interest me. These 2 systems are the Nervous System and the Endocrine System. They have a lot of differences. (Obviously, otherwise we wouldn't need both).

Some of the major differences are as follows. The endocrine system goes through your blood, while the nervous system goes through your neurons. The ES is much slower to take effect since it goes through hormones in your bloodstream, while the NS is very fast traveling speeding through your sensory and motor neurons. And one more difference is that the slow moving ES's effects last longer, while the quick firing NS's effects dissipate faster. 

These two systems within our body interest me because this is a case where the biological makeup of our bodies can apply to our lives. The endocrine system is like a slow paced, hard working person, who  puts a great deal of time into his endeavors, and thus gets great, long lasting results. The nervous system is like a speed demon at work, getting things done in a very time efficient manner, although the results do not last as long. I find these 2 systems interesting because the principles of "the harder you work for it, the better results you get" can, in a sense, apply to Biology and Psychology as shown by the endocrine system.

I just thought this would be a good way to help remember these 2 important systems within our body.
