Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus is the main link between the nervous system and the endocrine system as it controls the secretory activities of the pituitary gland, which is often referred to as the "master gland" of the endocrine system. The thalamus is only responsible for relaying sensory information to the cerebral cortex and has no control over the endocrine system. The brainstem is responsible for regulating basic autonomic functions such as breathing and heart rate and does not directly control the endocrine system. The thyroid gland is controlled by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus but is not considered the main link between the nervous and endocrine systems.
