    The nervous system is a fast-acting control system, whereas the endocrine system is a slow-acting control system.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The nervous system is considered a fast-acting control system because it uses electrical impulses to transmit signals quickly between different parts of the body. This allows for rapid responses to stimuli and immediate adjustments to maintain homeostasis. On the other hand, the endocrine system is a slow-acting control system because it relies on the release of hormones into the bloodstream, which takes time to travel to target organs and elicit a response. Hormonal responses are typically slower but longer-lasting compared to the rapid responses of the nervous system.
