In General, the Nervous System Does Each of the Following

Question

In general, the nervous system does each of the following except
A) help to maintain homeostasis.
B) respond rapidly to change.
C) direct long-term responses to change.
D) direct very specific responses.
E) interpret sensory information.

Accepted Answer

The nervous system is responsible for the rapid response to change and the interpretation of sensory information. It also directs very specific responses, such as movement and glandular secretions. It helps to maintain homeostasis, but it is not involved in directing long-term responses to change, which is the role of the endocrine system.
