ANAT 2402 Anatomy Neurophysiology
Part A
Which of the following is NOT one of the basic functions of the nervous system?
ANSWER:
Generate direct, electrical signals.
Integrate sensory input for decision making.
Decode sensory information from the environment.
Release hormones into the bloodstream to communicate with other cells in the body
Correct
Hormones are released by endocrine organs. The nervous system does have some control over
endocrine function, but the endocrine system is considered a separate signaling system.
