than a single nerve cell?
A) A single hormone can target many different responses, whereas a nerve only targets a
single response.
B) Blood can carry all the same hormones throughout the body simultaneously, producing
responses all over the body; nerve cells can only target a small number of cells.
C) Nerve cells and blood work together. The endocrine has nothing to do with the nervous
system.
