Bridge between nervous and endocrine systems
Correct answer: E. Hypothalamus
- A. Pancreas
- B. Thyroid
- C. Anterior pituitary
- D. Posterior pituitary
- E. Hypothalamus
Explanation
Hypothalamus:The hypothalamus is a region in the brain that acts as a control center for many physiological processes.It serves as a link between the nervous system and the endocrine system.It produces releasing hormones that stimulate the pituitary gland to release other hormones.It also receives signals from the nervous system about things like blood sugar levels and relays that information to the endocrine system.

About Chemical Coordination and Hormones
Chemical coordination uses hormones released by endocrine glands and carried in blood to specific target cells. Coverage includes the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes, feedback control, and the contrast between slower, longer-lasting hormonal responses and rapid nervous coordination.

Regulates blood sugar levels
All of the following are matched correctly EXCEPT
Persons with diabetes mellitus have abnormally elevated blood glucose levels. In an attempt to rid the body of excess glucose, the kidneys filter the glucose into the urine for excretion. The amount of glucose in the urine overwhelms the kidneys, which are unable to reabsorb the glucose during concentration of the urine in the nephrons. What would be the blood volume status of a patient with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus?
A tumor in beta cells would result in all of the following except:
Destruction of all beta cells in the pancreas would cause:
α-cells of the pancreas secrete a hormone known as:
