Why do nervous control and hormonal control together create more effective coordination in the body?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Nerve signals produce rapid responses, while hormones produce longer-lasting chemical effects
Nervous coordination uses electrical impulses and synaptic signals, so it can act very quickly and precisely on particular effectors. Endocrine coordination releases hormones into the blood; these may act more slowly, reach target tissues, and produce effects that last longer. Working together allows the body to respond rapidly while also maintaining longer-term regulation such as growth, metabolism and reproduction. Therefore A is correct; B, C and D are false.
