7.5 quiz review: Nervous Endocrine System

Ben was preparing to a front handspring with a full twist on a vault in a gymnastics tournament. To do so he must sprint at his top speed to the vault and coordinate muscles at maximum strength to land properly. To accommodate the increases in muscle use, his breathing and heart rate increase. Which part of the brain is Ben using to consider the move?

• cerebellum

• cerebrum

• brain stem

• brain cord

Ben was preparing for a front handspring with a full twist on a vault in a gymnastics tournament. To do so he must sprint at his top speed to the vault and coordinate muscles at maximum strength to land properly. To accommodate the increases in muscle use, his breathing and heart rate increase. What is the brain stem most likely to help Ben with in this situation?

• breathing, heartbeat

• envisioning the move

• coordinating the muscles in the move

• thinking about how to land the move

• His breathing decreases to provide the body more with oxygen.

What do the cells and tissues of the endocrine system release to help maintain homeostasis in the body?

• hormones

• glands

• blood cells

• receptors
