What is the primary role of insulin secreted by the pancreas?
What is the primary role of insulin secreted by the pancreas?
- To regulate the inflammatory response during infections.
- To maintain blood sugar levels and aid in food digestion. (correct)
- To control involuntary muscle movement in the digestive system.
- To signal the brain when the stomach is full.
How does the medulla oblongata contribute to the digestive process?
How does the medulla oblongata contribute to the digestive process?
- By stimulating the release of hormones that regulate appetite.
- By producing enzymes that break down food in the stomach.
- By controlling involuntary muscle movements that aid in the digestion of food. (correct)
- By sending signals to the brain indicating satiety.
Which of the following describes the relationship between the nervous system and hormone release?
Which of the following describes the relationship between the nervous system and hormone release?
- Hormones directly stimulate nerve impulses that control muscle movement.
- Hormones inhibit the transmission of signals in the nervous system to maintain balance.
- The nervous system relies on hormones to transmit signals throughout the body.
- The brain sends signals to glands, triggering the release of hormones. (correct)

Study Notes
- The brain sends signals to glands, triggering hormone release, linking the nervous and endocrine systems.
- The brain stem controls heart rate via the nervous system.
- Adrenaline release by adrenal glands dilates eye pupils, which is part of the endocrine system.
- Blood carries hormones throughout the body in the circulatory system, interacting with the endocrine system.
- Medulla in the brainstem controls involuntary muscle movement to help breakdown food as part of the digestive system.
- Blood carries digested nutrients to body cells in the circulatory and digestive systems.
- The brain controls mating behavior via the reproductive system.
- Nutrients diffuse through the placenta to the embryo through blood vessels in the umbilical cord involving the reproductive and circulatory system.
- The brain can stimulate defense mechanisms against infections involving the immune system.
- Stomach acid protects against food-borne pathogens through the digestive system.
- The immune system's white blood cells attack pathogens and are transported through vessels.
- Digestive system signals the brain when the stomach is full.
- Hormones affect brain development and sexual behavior.
- The pancreas secretes insulin to maintain blood sugar levels and enzymes for digestion.
- Hormones from the reproductive system control sexual development.
- Hormones are released to cause bones to grow longer, linking the endocrine and skeletal systems.
- Calcium ingested can strengthen bones, connecting the skeletal and digestive systems indirectly.
- Hormones regulate the menstrual cycle.
- Nutrients from food are essential for the embryo's development.
- The mother's system can attack the fetus due to blood type differences linking to the immune and reproductive systems.
- The pelvis protects a developing fetus from injury.
- This system produces white blood cells to defend the body.
- Hormones help suppress the inflammatory response when pathogens invade.
- The brain regulates bone position by controlling muscles.
