False.

The nervous system produces rapid responses (milliseconds to seconds) via electrical impulses and synaptic transmission. The endocrine system signals by hormones carried in the blood, which act more slowly (seconds to hours or longer) but tend to have longer-lasting effects. Example: a reflex to withdraw from heat is neural; regulation of metabolism or growth is hormonal.
