Question

How does the neuroendocrine system maintain homeostasis in the body?

a. neuroendocrines activate the somatic response and the sympathetic response.
b. hormones are made from proteins, and neurons are made from cholesterol.
c. adrenal glands cause exocrine reactions, and pituitary glands cause endocrine reactions.
d. neurons check for imbalances and tell the endocrine system to send out hormones?

Answer 1

The correct answer is:
d. neurons check for imbalances and tell the endocrine system to send out hormones.
The neuroendocrine system represents the interaction between the nervous system and the endocrine system. Its function includes the brain regulation of the hormonal activity in the body. The recognition of stimulus starts in the brain, especially the hypothalamus which controls the secretion of pituitary gland hormones.
