Question 9 • 670417 Psychology S1 - MOSELEY, MELISSA K

Which of the following statements about the nervous system is correct?

Answer
A
The nervous system is regulated by the endocrine system.
B
The nervous system emits only chemical signals.
C
The nervous system communicates through the bloodstream.
D
The nervous system sends neurotransmitters to communicate internally.

Explanation

The nervous system communicates within the body using electrical signals along neurons and chemical messengers called neurotransmitters, which carry signals across synapses between cells. Therefore, “The nervous system sends neurotransmitters to communicate internally” is correct. It does not communicate through the bloodstream in the same way endocrine hormones do, and it does not use only chemical signals.
