False.

The endocrine system regulates both short-term and long-term processes. Hormones often act more slowly than nervous signals but produce longer-lasting effects (e.g., growth and development, metabolism, reproduction, stress responses like cortisol). The nervous system primarily handles rapid, short-term responses.
