Explanation:

The endocrine system uses hormones (chemical messengers) released into the bloodstream to communicate with target cells. Key traits: it acts slowly (not quickly) over distant locations, integrates with the nervous system (e.g., hypothalamus-pituitary axis), does not work independently of other systems, and produces widespread (not localized) reactions.

integrates with the nervous system
