ASSESSMENT
Directions. Choose the letter of the correct answer. Write the chosen letter before each number.

1. Which of the following is an example of the endocrine system directly interacting with the nervous system?
A. The vertebrae protect the spinal cord from injury
B. Hormones provide feedback that affects neutral processing
C. Sensory receptors in bones send signals about body position to the brain
D. The brain sends signals that control the speed at which food moves through the intestines.

2. During the final stages of human gestation, receptors for the hormone oxytocin increase on the smooth muscle cells of
the uterus. The release of the oxytocin during labor stimulates the smooth muscle tissue in the wall of the uterus. The
vigorous contraction of the uterine smooth muscle helps push the baby through the birth canal so that delivery can occur.
