How does the human body prevent internal energy levels from becoming too low?

Question

a. The nervous system transmits feelings of hunger to the digestive system, which initiates eating.
b. The nervous system transmits feelings of fullness to the digestive system, which signals metabolism to stop.
c. The nervous system transmits feelings of hunger to the brain, which initiates eating.
d. The nervous system transmits feelings of fullness to the brain, which signals metabolism to stop.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

c. The nervous system transmits feelings of hunger to the brain, which initiates eating.

This process helps to ensure that the body maintains adequate energy levels by prompting the individual to consume food when energy levels are low. The brain integrates signals from the body about energy status and hunger, thereby regulating food intake.
