Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The medulla is the inner part of your adrenal gland. It releases hormones that regulate your autonomic nervous system. This system controls involuntary functions you usually wouldn’t think about, like your heart rate.
Detailed explanation-3: -After the amygdala sends a distress signal, the hypothalamus activates the sympathetic nervous system by sending signals through the autonomic nerves to the adrenal glands. These glands respond by pumping the hormone epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) into the bloodstream.
