Question

A baseball player does the following while at bat: feels anxious as he steps to the plate moves out of the way of a wild pitch swings early at a fastball and gets a hit Is each of events 1-3 above under neural or hormonal control?

Answer 1

In neural control, the nervous system utilizes electrical impulses to transmit signals via neurons. On the other hand, in hormonal control, the hormonal system utilizes chemical messengers conducted into the plasma of blood towards the target cells. The transmission by the hormonal system is long-lasting and takes much more time, while the transmission by the nervous system is quick and short-lived. The responses via neural control are localized, while the responses via hormonal control are widespread.

Anxious feeling of a baseball player as he steps to the plate comes under hormonal control.

Moving out of the way of a wild pitch ball comes under neural control, and

Swinging early at a fastball and getting a hit comes under neural control.
