What are the basic functions of the nervous system?
What are the basic functions of the nervous system?
- Receptor activation, sensory information processing, neurotransmitter release
- Sensation, interpretation, reaction
- Stimuli monitoring, muscle activation, homeostasis maintenance
- Sensation, integration, motor output (correct)
How does the nervous system differ from the endocrine system?
How does the nervous system differ from the endocrine system?
- The nervous system is rapid and fast-acting, while the endocrine system's effects may persist (correct)
- The endocrine system is involved in sensory processing, unlike the nervous system
- The endocrine system is responsible for muscle activation, unlike the nervous system
- Both systems have similar effects on homeostasis
What is the nervous system's role in homeostasis?
What is the nervous system's role in homeostasis?
- It serves as an integrating center for maintaining homeostasis (correct)
- It has no role in maintaining homeostasis
- It directly controls all body functions related to homeostasis
- It only responds to homeostatic imbalances
