Why can hormonal control sometimes last longer than nervous control?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because hormones circulate in the blood and act on target organs
The governing concept is endocrine coordination by chemical messengers. Hormones are released by endocrine glands into the blood and may remain in circulation or continue affecting target cells after the initial release. Their action usually begins more slowly than a nerve impulse but can persist longer and influence several organs. Thus option A is correct; the remaining options describe false or unrelated processes.
