Detailed explanation-1: -The activity of the pituitary gland is however controlled by the hypothalamus which as well as being an endocrine gland, is also part of the nervous system. Along with the nervous system, the endocrine system coordinates the body’s functions to maintain homeostasis during rest and exercise.
Detailed explanation-2: -The endocrine and nervous systems communicate with each other through the hypothalamus, which controls basic drives such as hunger and thirst. The hypothalamus also regulates the pituitary gland, which governs the release of hormones by the body’s other glands.
Detailed explanation-3: -The hypothalamus releases regulatory hormones to control the secretions of the pituitary gland. It is also part of the autonomic system and contains regulatory centers for control of emotional responses, body temperature, water balance, and appetite. Thus, the correct answer is option E.
