Which of the following is an example of the endocrine system maintaining homeostasis? detecting a pain stimulus and sending a signal to the spinal cord to perform an automatic response passing information about body temperature from the hypothalamus to the sweat glands or muscles producing an excessive amount of hormones in the blood and not sending a signal to stop production using sense organs to get information about the outside world and direct an appropriate body response

Ans.

Endocrine system is a body system that consists of hormones, a group of glands, and secret those hormones into bloodstream directly to regulate the functions of target tissues or organs.

Endocrine system maintains homoestasis by regulating temperature of the body. When there is a rise in body temperature, the endocrine system sends information from hypothalamus to muscles, glands, organs, and nervous system that help to return the temperature into normal level.

Thus, the correct answer is option). 'passing information about body temperature from the hypothalamus to the sweat glands or muscles.'

Passing information about body temperature from the hypothalamus to the

sweat glands or muscles

Endocrine system involves the use of hormones in regulating the body's

biochemical processes. The part of the brain known as the hypothalamus

controls all parts of this system.

Example of Biochemical processes include

Information is usually passed from the hypothalamus to the

sweat glands or muscles during hot conditions to aid cooling via sweats

formed which helps to maintain a stable temperature.

Stimulus is anything that results in a response. It can be external or internal. Stimuli is the plural form of it. For example:

"There can be one stimulus in this article."

There can be 2 or more stimuli in this article."
