Q. Which one of the following statements is correct ?
A) Neurons regulate endocrine activity, but not vice versa
B) Endocrine glands regulate neural activity and nervous system regulates endocrine glands
C) Neither hormones control neural activity nor the neurons control endocrine activity
D) Endocrine glands regulate neural activity, but not vice versa
Explanation
[Solution from source] The neural and endocrine systems control each other: the hypothalamus (nervous tissue) controls the pituitary, while hormones such as thyroxine and adrenaline change the activity of the nervous system. So the statement that neurons regulate endocrine glands but not the other way round is wrong. Answer (2).
