  This suggests that a certain amount of body fat is necessary for menstrual cycles to occur. The nervous system appears to respond to circulating levels of the adipose tissue hormone leptin; when leptin levels fall below a certain set point, menstruation ceases. Because a woman lacking adequate fat reserves might not be able to have a successful pregnancy, the body prevents pregnancy by shutting down the ovarian cycle, and thus the menstrual cycle. Once sufficient energy reserves become available, the cycles begin again.

What are the differences between the endocrine and nervous systems?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

The endocrine system is a complex of glands that secrete <u>hormones</u> as a chemical messenger. These hormones carry information and instructions throughout the bloodstream from one part of the body to another. These hormones control many body functions such as respiration, sensory perception, metabolisms, growth, reproduction, the mood among others.

On the other hand, the nervous system is made up of neurons that communicate with each other to extend a message (from our own body or the outside) to the brain, for analysis and further decision of what to do with that information. A group of neurons, sensory neurons, respond to several stimuli such as touch, light, and sound to let the brain know about the surrounding environment. Another group of neurons, motor neurons, work inside the body and carry signals to active muscle or glands.

iragen [17]
The answer is Na + is entering the cell and the K + is leaving, during the depolarization phase of the action potential open Na + channels allow Na + ions to diffuse into the cell. This inward movement of positive charge makes the membrane potential more positive. The depolarization phase is a positive response sequence where open Na + channels cause depolarization which in re-occurrence causes more voltage gated Na+ channels to open.
