The hypothalamus controls excretions from the pituitary gland. It causes the release of some hormones from the pituitary by dire

ct nervous control, and others by secreting releasing and inhibiting factors that stimulate the pituitary to secrete hormones.
Which best describes the hypothalamus?

It is a connection point between the nervous and endocrine systems.
It is both an exocrine and endocrine gland.

Answer:

It is a connection point between the nervous and endocrine systems.

Explanation:

Hypothalamus is the part of the diencephalon. As a part of the endocrine system, it releases releasing and inhibiting hormones to regulate the release of hormones from the anterior pituitary gland. Example:  thyrotropin-releasing hormone from hypothalamus makes the anterior pituitary to release thyrotropin hormone.

However, to maintain homeostasis, the hypothalamus also regulates the hormone secretion from the pituitary gland through nervous control. Therefore, hypothalamus serves as a link between the nervous and endocrine system.

The hypothalamus is not the master gland rather "it is a connection point between the nervous and endocrine systems." Where the hypothalamus controls the basic impulses and drives of human action.

In what ways are autorhythmic fibers similar to and different from contractile fibers?
Leto [7]
I think Autorhythmic fibers are fibers that are self excitable or on their own for example some cardiac muscle. They  repeatedly generate action potentials that trigger heart contractions.They continue to stimulate a heart to beat even when it is removed from the body. In comparison to contractile fibers, autorhythmic fibers are self excitable and do not require nervous system stimulation to trigger contractions. Contractile fibers have stable resting membrane potentials of -90mV, when a contractile fibers reaches threshold by action potential, the voltage gated fast sodium ions channels will open.

How does photosynthesis help to maintain homeostasis in plant cells?
viktelen [127]

Plants maintain homeostasis by keeping their stomata open just enough to allow photosynthesis to take place but not so much that they lose an excessive amount of water.

When plant cells use the food they make, the cells respire, taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide.
