Neural Regulation of Hormone Secretion

Neural regulation of hormone secretion refers to how the nervous system controls the release of hormones in the body. Nerve signals can trigger glands to produce and release hormones in response to various stimuli, such as stress, light, or changes in temperature. For example, when you encounter a stressful situation, your brain signals the adrenal glands to release adrenaline, preparing your body for a quick response. This regulation ensures that hormone levels adjust rapidly to support the body's needs, coordinating functions like metabolism, growth, and mood.
