Why is hormonal control considered slower than nervous control?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Hormones reach target organs through blood
The governing concept is the mode and speed of communication. Endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream, and the blood carries them to distant target organs; this transport and the time needed for cellular action make the response relatively slow. Thus option A is correct. Hormones are not formed only in skin, they do reach target organs, and they occur in animals as well as plants, so B, C, and D are false.
