Differs between Nervous control and Hormonal control:
| Nervous control |
Hormonal control |
| Electrochemical coordination takes place in the nervous system with the help of neurons present all over the body which transmits electrical impulses and neurotransmitters which are the chemicals released by neurons through which the transmission of electric impulses takes place. |
Hormonal system is a kind of chemical coordination in which coordination takes place with the help of certain chemical messengers called hormones released by different endocrine gland. |
| The basic unit that helps in transmission of impulses in neuron. |
The basic unit that helps in regulation over here is hormone. |
| No electric impulse is secreted into blood over here. |
Hormones are directly secreted into blood. |
| For example - Contraction of the skeletal muscles id controlled by motor neurons which transmits electric impulses with the help of the neurotransmitters. |
For example- Pancreas secretes insulin to regulate the blood sugar lever. |
