Neural and hormonal control mechanisms differ in
A)That only neural mechanisms mediate reflexes
B)That mode of delivery of the chemical regulator
C)That chemical nature of the regulator used
D)Both that only neural mechanisms mediate reflexes and that mode of delivery of the chemical regulator are correct
E)Both that mode of delivery of the chemical regulator and that chemical nature of the regulator used are correct

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neural control mechanisms use nerve impulses to transmit signals, while hormonal control mechanisms use chemical messengers (hormones) that are transported through the bloodstream to target organs. Therefore, the mode of delivery of the chemical regulator is the main difference between neural and hormonal control mechanisms. The other options (A, C, D, and E) do not accurately distinguish between neural and hormonal control mechanisms.
