(i)
| Nervous Control | Hormonal Control |
| 1. Messages are sent as an electrical impulse. | 1. Messages are carried in the form of chemicals (hormone) |
| 2. It is carried through Neurons. | 2. It is carried through blood . |
| 3. Nerve impulses produce rapid responses. | 3. Hormones produce slow responses. |
4. Nerve impulses produce short lived responses. & 4. Hormones produce long lasting responses.
Example - • If the sugar level in the blood rises more insulin is prod
As blood sugar level falls, insulin secretion is reduced.
