Neuroendocrine integration · Physiology

The hypothalamic control of body temperature represents an example of:

  1. An endocrine reflex that operates without any neural input at all
  2. Neuroendocrine integration
  3. A purely neural reflex arc with no hormonal component
  4. Local paracrine signaling between adjacent cells
