Answer:
Receiving sensory information and carrying commands to the muscles.
Explanation:
The spinal cord serves as the transmission conduit for the passage of action potential as sensory information through the sensory/afferent neurons to the dorsal roots of the spinal cord.The information synapse with the inter neurons,branching off to the brain and emerged as the response through the motor/efferent neurons to the effectors(muscles).
This pathways is called reflex arc. Thus most of the involuntary action of the body is conducted through the spinal cord
Answer:
d) A negative feedback loop
Explanation:
A negative feedback loop counteracts the deviation from homeostasis by generating a required response. The function of the insulin hormone is to lower down the blood glucose level when it raises above the normal range. Insulin triggers the uptake of glucose from the blood by cells. It specifically triggers muscle and liver cells to take up glucose from the blood.
Once the blood glucose level is restored to the normal value, the secretion of insulin stops. Here, a change in normal body condition (raised blood glucose level) was counteracted by the secretion of insulin hormone to restore the homeostasis of blood sugar levels.
