What is the role of the nervous system?

• Send electrical signals through nerve cells allowing it to control the body and respond quickly to stimuli
• Send electrical signals through the blood allowing it to deliver nutrients where the body needs it
• Send chemicals through nerve cells allowing it to control the body and respond quickly to stimuli
• Send chemicals through the blood allowing it to deliver nutrients where the body needs it

Which gland is responsible for regulating the other glands as well as connecting the nervous and endocrine systems?

• Adrenal
• Hypothalamus
• Pancreas
• Thyroid

Which gland is responsible for your metabolism?

• Adrenal
• Hypothalamus
• Pancreas
• Thyroid

Which gland is responsible for controlling your blood sugar?

• Adrenal
• Hypothalamus
• Pancreas
• Thyroid

How does the endocrine system work with the circulatory system to help maintain homeostasis in the body?

• The endocrine system sends electrical signals through nerve cells allowing it to control the body and respond quickly to stimuli
• The endocrine system sends electrical signals through the blood allowing it to deliver nutrients where the body needs it
• The endocrine system sends chemicals through nerve cells allowing it to control the body and respond quickly to stimuli
• The endocrine system sends chemicals through the blood, ensuring the blood takes nutrients where the body needs it
