Question

which organ systems are responsible for regulating body temperature and blood sugar levels?
nervous & endocrine systems
endocrine & excretory systems
integumentary and endocrine systems
endocrine & circulatory system

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Nervous & Endocrine Systems: The nervous system (e.g., hypothalamus) regulates body temperature, and the endocrine system (e.g., pancreas for blood sugar) regulates blood sugar.
• Endocrine & Excretory: Excretory system (urinary) is for waste removal, not primary temp/sugar regulation.
• Integumentary and Endocrine: Integumentary (skin) helps temp regulation, but endocrine alone doesn’t cover temp regulation as comprehensively as nervous + endocrine.
• Endocrine & Circulatory: Circulatory transports, not primary regulation of temp/sugar.

The nervous system (via hypothalamus) and endocrine system (e.g., insulin from pancreas) are key for both body temperature and blood sugar regulation.

Answer:

A. nervous & endocrine systems
