Question

How does the neuroendocrine system maintain homeostasis in the body?

Answer 1

ANSWER : D. Neurons sense changes in body systems, and hormones cause corrections.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option D, that is, neurons sense variations in the systems of the body, and hormones results in corrections.  

The neuroendocrine system comprises of special cells known as neuroendocrine cells. They are dispersed all through the body. The neuroendocrine cells are found in almost every organ of the body. They are primarily found dispersed in the GI tract, colon, stomach, appendix, and esophagus.  

The neuroendocrine cells produce and discharge hormones and identical substances, like peptides in reaction to chemical or neurological signals. The hormones then go into the blood and pass all through the body to the target cells. The hormones combine with particular receptors on the target cells that result in modifications in the cells and what they do.
