How is the response of hormonal control generally?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Slow and long lasting
Hormonal or endocrine control works through chemical messengers released into the bloodstream. They must be transported to particular target organs, so the response generally begins more slowly than a nerve impulse. However, hormones may remain effective for a longer period, giving a sustained response. Thus option A is correct; the other options incorrectly describe a very brief neural response or deny the chemical nature of hormones.
