Question

question 8 of 10
how do the nervous system and endocrine system work together?
a. nerves tell glands when to release chemicals.
b. glands are made of nerve cells.
c. nerves are made of gland cells.
d. glands tell nerves when to activate.

Explanation:

The nervous system (nerves) can send signals to endocrine glands (e.g., the hypothalamus in the brain (nervous tissue) can signal the pituitary gland (endocrine gland)). These signals prompt the glands to release hormones (chemicals). Option B is incorrect as glands are not made of nerve cells. Option C is wrong because nerves are not made of gland cells. Option D has the relationship reversed; it's the nervous system (nerves) that often initiates signals to the endocrine system (glands) in many regulatory processes, not the other way around for the main interaction described in basic physiological co - operation.

Answer:

A. Nerves tell glands when to release chemicals.
