Which is generally faster: nervous control or hormonal control?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nervous control
The governing concept is the comparison between nervous and hormonal coordination. Nervous control sends electrical impulses along neurons and uses rapid neurotransmitter action at synapses, so it usually produces a response much faster than endocrine control. Hormones must be released into the blood, transported, and detected by target cells. Hence option A is correct. Hormonal responses are often slower but may last longer; the words “always equal” make option C incorrect.
