Which of the following is an example of the endocrine system maintaining homeostasis? - detecting a pain stimulus and sending a signal to the spinal cord to perform an automatic response
- producing an excessive amount of hormones in the blood and not sending a signal to stop production
- releasing insulin to decrease blood sugar and releasing glucagon to increase blood sugar
- using sense organs to get information about the outside world and direct an appropriate body response

c) releasing insulin to decrease blood sugar and releasing glucagon to increase blood sugar

Explanation:

The endocrine system is responsible for hormone secretion, and the process of homeostasis is to maintain equilibrium. By secreting insulin to increase blood sugar it is maintaining equilibrium.

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
