How does the neuroendocrine system maintain homeostasis in the body?

Question

How does the neuroendocrine system maintain homeostasis in the body? 
a. The neuroendocrine system activates both the somatic and sympathetic responses. 
b. Neurons influence both males and females, while hormones also affect both genders. 
c. Neurons interact with the endocrine system, while hormones primarily target exocrine organs. 
d. Neurons detect changes in body systems, and hormones initiate corrective actions.

The correct answer is option D, that is, neurons sense variations in the systems of the body, and hormones results in corrections.  The neuroendocrine system comprises of special cells known as neuroendocrine cells. They are dispersed all through the body. The neuroendocrine cells are found in almost every organ of the body. They are primarily found dispersed in the GI tract, colon, stomach, appendix, and esophagus.  The neuroendocrine cells produce and discharge hormones and identical substances, like peptides in reaction to chemical or neurological signals. The hormones then go into the blood and pass all through the body to the target cells. The hormones combine with particular receptors on the target cells that result in modifications in the cells and what they do.

Nerves monitor the body, and hormones make adjustments, or.  Neurons check for imbalances and tell the endocrine system to send out hormones.

The neuroendocrine system produces and releases hormones which are basically chemicals that travel via the bloodstream to specific organs in the body to control things like heart rate, glucose release rate, etc. This is how homeostasis in maintained.

The correct answer is:d. neurons check for imbalances and tell the endocrine system to send out hormones. The neuroendocrine system represents the interaction between the nervous system and the endocrine system. Its function includes the brain regulation of the hormonal activity in the body. The recognition of stimulus starts in the brain, especially the hypothalamus which controls the secretion of pituitary gland hormones.

The Endocrine system is responsible for homeostasis. The Endocrine system secrete hormones that the body needs to perform certain functions. This is the main way we maintain homeostasis actually, since the endocrine system releases chemicals known as hormones.
