Correct answer: D. Thoughts and emotions
- A. Cardiac muscle contraction
- B. Salivation
- C. Smooth muscle contraction
- D. Thoughts and emotions
Explanation
Thoughts and emotions are governed by the central nervous system (CNS), particularly the brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex for complex thought processes and the limbic system for emotional responses, involving intricate interactions of neural circuits, neurotransmitters, and hormones.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
