Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of receptors in the nervous system?

  • To detect and respond to stimuli (correct)
  • To regulate mood and emotional states
  • To secrete hormones into the bloodstream
  • To transmit electrical signals between neurons

How do the endocrine and nervous systems primarily interact?

  • The endocrine system controls the speed of neural impulses
  • Neurotransmitters can trigger hormone release from glands (correct)
  • They function independently with no interaction
  • Hormones directly affect nerve impulse transmission

Which cell type is primarily associated with the nervous system's signaling mechanisms?

  • Neurons (correct)
  • Chondrocytes
  • Erythrocytes
  • Adipocytes

Flashcards

Nervous System

The body's communication network, using electrical impulses and chemical signals to control bodily functions and responses to stimuli.

Endocrine System

A system of glands that secrete hormones to regulate bodily functions, growth, and development.

Neurotransmitters

Chemical messengers that transmit signals across synapses between nerve cells.

Hormones

Chemical messengers transported in the blood, regulating various bodily functions.
