Does neural impulses travel faster than hormonal messages?
Yes, neural impulses travel faster than hormonal messages. Neural impulses are electrical signals that travel along nerve cells at speeds of up to 120 meters per second, while hormonal messages are transmitted through the bloodstream at slower speeds, ranging from a few centimeters to a few meters per second.
Why is nervous control faster than hormonal action?
Nervous control is faster than hormonal action because it relies on electrical impulses transmitted through neurons, allowing for immediate responses to stimuli. This rapid communication enables quick reflexes and coordination of bodily functions. In contrast, hormonal action involves the release of hormones into the bloodstream, which takes more time to reach target cells and elicit a response, resulting in slower physiological changes.
How fast do neural impulses travel?
It really depends. Some neural impulses can travel as slow as 2 mph or at a speed of 200 or more mph. Even at this speed it's 3 million times slower than the speed of electricity through a wire
What is the differences between hormonal and neural control of the body functioning?
The nervous system regulates the activity of muscles and glands via electrochemical impulses delivered by neurons, and those organs respond within milliseconds. The endocrine system influences metabolic activity by means of hormones, which are chemical messengers released into the blood to be transported throughout the body. Binding of a hormone to cellular receptors initiates responses that typically occur after a lag period of seconds or even days. The responses tend to be much more prolonged than those induced by the nervous system.

What is faster than a bird but slower than a snail?
nothing. that is impossible because if it is faster than a bird, then it isn't slower than a snail. and if it is slower than a snail, then it isn't faster than a bird.
