Which of the following best describes a control relay in the context of organ systems?
A
A type of cell that stores energy for later use
B
A mechanism that transmits signals between different parts of the body to maintain homeostasis
C
A pathway that transports nutrients throughout the body
D
A structure that provides physical support to organs
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the concept of homeostasis, which is the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions.
Recognize that organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis by transmitting signals and coordinating functions across different parts of the body.
Identify that a control relay in the context of organ systems refers to mechanisms that facilitate communication and signal transmission to ensure the body responds appropriately to changes.
Consider examples of control relays such as the nervous system, which uses neurons to transmit signals, and the endocrine system, which uses hormones to communicate between organs.
Conclude that the best description of a control relay in organ systems is a mechanism that transmits signals between different parts of the body to maintain homeostasis.
