Which of the following statements describes an interaction between the nervous and excretory systems?
A
the production of insulin to control sugar levels
B
eyes squinting or dilating in response to light
C
less urine production to prevent dehydration
D
goosebumps produced in response to cold temperatures
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ADH signals the kidneys to recover water from urine, effectively diluting the blood plasma. To conserve water, the hypothalamus of a dehydrated person also sends signals via the sympathetic nervous system to the salivary glands in the mouth.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the body is low in water, the pituitary gland secretes vasopressin (also called antidiuretic hormone) into the bloodstream. Vasopressin stimulates the kidneys to conserve water and excrete less urine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bladder inflammation: Because dehydration concentrates the urine, resulting in a high level of minerals, it can irritate the lining of the bladder and cause painful bladder syndrome, or interstitial cystitis. Frequent, urgent urination and pelvic pain are common symptoms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a chemical produced in the brain that causes the kidneys to release less water, decreasing the amount of urine produced. A high ADH level causes the body to produce less urine. A low level results in greater urine production.
