Which statement correctly describes a feature of endocrine control?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The effect can be slow but long lasting
The governing concept is hormonal or endocrine coordination. Endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream, so transport to a target organ is generally slower than a nerve impulse. However, hormones may remain active longer and influence processes such as growth, metabolism or reproduction. Their action is not limited to a moment, dendrites or the spinal cord; therefore option A is correct.
