Hormonal and Nervous Control Systems?

Question

distinguish between the hormonal and nervous control systems (chemical substance or

impulse, speed of response, widespread or localised response, long-term or short-lived

response)

Answer 1

Nervous control provides speedier, localized and short-lived responses. Hormones are released into blood stream throughout the body. So hormonal control provides slower, more widespread, and longer responses.

Both control systems involve chemical substances. Although impulse is transmitted along an axon, the final effector is a neurotransmitter, which functions like a hormone..
