Why are both the nervous system and endocrine system needed for control in humans?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because one gives a rapid response and the other gives a chemical, relatively long-lasting effect
The governing concept is coordination through two complementary control systems. The nervous system transmits electrical impulses rapidly for immediate, local responses, while the endocrine system releases hormones into blood for slower effects that may last longer and reach several target tissues. Therefore option A is correct. The other options deny their established roles or incorrectly restrict them to plants.
