Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The endocrine system is responsible for releasing hormones into the bloodstream, which can affect the body over a longer period. In Barney's case, the stress response likely involved the release of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, which can keep the body in a heightened state of arousal even after the initial threat (the bat) is gone. This system works in conjunction with the nervous system but is known for its longer-lasting effects compared to the immediate responses typically managed by the nervous system.
