Which comparison between nervous control and hormonal control is most correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nervous control can be fast and short-lived, whereas hormonal control can be slower and longer-lasting
Nervous control uses electrical impulses and chemical transmission across synapses, so it usually acts rapidly and its effects may end quickly. Hormones travel through the blood and often act more slowly, but their effects can persist longer. Hence option A is correct. Nerves do not normally signal through blood, both systems occur in animals, and hormones act on specific target organs.
