The true statement about the nervous and endocrine systems is that the nervous system utilizes both electrical and chemical messaging. Other options are incorrect regarding the nature of hormones and the speed of signal transmission between the two systems.

The true statement is that the nervous system utilizes both electrical and chemical messaging. The endocrine system primarily communicates through hormones, which travel through the bloodstream and work slower than the nervous system. Thus, the nervous system is faster at sending messages compared to the endocrine system.
