Which of the following is an example of the endocrine system maintaining homeostasis? (3 points) -Detecting a pain stimulus and sending a signal to the spinal cord to perform an automatic response
-Discharging an excessive amount of hormones in the blood and not sending a signal to stop production
-Sending a message to the pituitary gland to start producing a hormone when the levels in the body are too low
-Using sense organs to get information about the outside world and direct an appropriate body response release

-Discharging an excessive amount of hormones in the blood and not sending a signal to stop production

Explanation:

Endocrine system is regulated by negative feedback mechanisms that work to maintain homeostasis.

Concentration of hormones, and how they effect other body systems, are controlled in this manner.

For instance, the blood glucose regulation is controlled by insulin and glucagon, hormones produced by the pancreas.

the answer is :

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
