Responses
Neurones are specialized cells that convey information in
the form of nerve impulses. The nervous system uses
electrical impulses to ensure a swift response to any
internal or external stimuli.
Hormones (chemicals secreted by
glands) travel in the blood and
produce slower and longer-lasting
responses; examples include
testosterone and insulin.
In single-cell organisms, hormones and a nervous system
are not necessary. These systems of communication have
developed with the evolution of multi-cellular organisms.
