Question

During a football game, you are starting to feel cold, your body starts to shiver. What is the path of communication between your nervous system and endocrine system to help your body stay warm?
Multiple choice question.

A)
Your sensory receptors in the nervous system recognize the external change in the environment and send a signal through the somatic nervous system to your muscles and glands and tell them to start shivering.

B)
Your sensory receptors in the nervous system are blocked due to the lower temperatures so the internal receptors know that something must be wrong. It works with the endocrine system to maintain homeostasis.

C)
Your sensory receptors in the nervous system recognize the external change in the environment and immediately send a signal through the autonomic nervous system to a gland that gradually communicates your internal body temperature is also changing. Both systems work together to maintain homeostasis.

D)
Your sensory receptors in the nervous system recognize the external change in the environment and send a signal through the autonomic nervous system to your muscles and tell them to start shivering. The endocrine system is useless.

E)
Your sensory receptors in the nervous system can’t recognize the external change in the environment and rely on the endocrine system to help them know when to communicate with the muscles to shiver.

Answer 1

The answer would most likely be C homie

Answer 2

Answer:

C)

Your sensory receptors in the nervous system recognize the external change in the environment and immediately send a signal through the autonomic nervous system to a gland that gradually communicates your internal body temperature is also changing. Both systems work together to maintain homeostasis

Explanation:  

The answer basically gives you an explanation, but here is mine:

The nervous system works heavily with the brain by sending signals through nerves. The endocrine system secrete chemicals for wide ranges of things, but it does this with a message that is relayed the nervous system. Since in this problem the temperature is decreasing, then the nervous system will send a message to the brain and then the message gets sent to whatever system is needed to adapt to the temperature decrease which in this case it the endocrine.

This was pretty lengthy, but I hope it helps :)
