Which of the following statements about nervous and endocrine signaling is NOT true?

A)The nervous system and endocrine system are both regulatory systems, but the two systems do not communicate directly with each other.
B)Endocrine signaling is generally more prolonged than nerve cell signaling.
C)The nervous system transmits signals between adjacent cells using neurotransmitters, whereas the endocrine system signals with hormones.
