Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurosecretory cells participate in both the nervous and endocrine systems. They produce and secrete hormones that are released into the bloodstream and act on target cells, similar to endocrine cells. However, they are also specialized neurons that receive and integrate neural signals from the nervous system, allowing them to coordinate the body's responses to various stimuli such as dehydration, low blood glucose levels, and stress.
