Question

question 5 of 10
which of the following pairs work together to form the neuroendocrine system?
a. neurotransmitters and hormones
b. neurons and nerve impulses
c. hormones and proteins
d. amino acids and neurons

Explanation:

The neuroendocrine system combines neural (nervous system - neurotransmitters) and endocrine (hormones) functions. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers in the nervous system, and hormones are chemical messengers in the endocrine system. Together, they regulate body functions as part of the neuroendocrine system. Neurons (B) are cells of the nervous system, but nerve impulses are electrical signals. Proteins (C) are a broad category not specific to the neuroendocrine system's defining components. Amino acids (D) are building blocks of proteins and not paired with neurons to form the neuroendocrine system.

Answer:

A. Neurotransmitters and hormones
