Which describes the primary function of the nervous system in keeping the body in homeostasis?

The nervous system helps maintain homeostasis by detecting changes in the environment and sending signals that guide the body’s responses. For example, it can signal the body to sweat when it is too hot. “It processes the environment and sends out signals” describes this function; movement and structure, digestion, and oxygen exchange are primarily handled by other systems.
