Question

Coordinator between nervous and endocrine systems is

• A. Thalamus
• B. Hypothalamus
• C. Epithalamus
• D. Colliculus

Answer 1

The correct option is B Hypothalamus

The coordination and integration in different organs of human body is maintained by nervous system and endocrine system. Nervous system is the system of nerve cells through which information is carried between organs and organ systems. The organs where these nerve cells do not innervate are regulated by endocrine system which consists of endocrine glands secreting chemical messengers or hormones. Hence, nervous system and endocrine system work in a coordinated manner and this coordination is maintained by hypothalamus. Hypothalamus regulates many body functions and secrete many releasing and inhibiting hormones which stimulates synthesis or inhibition of hormones from pituitary gland. The hormones from pituitary gland then regulate hormones secretion from other endocrine glands.

So, the correct answer is 'Hypothalamus'.
