- DChemical integration through hormones.
Correct answer
A. Impulse conduction across a synapse.
Step-by-step solution
Coordination refers to the process by which two or more organs interact and complement each other's functions in order to maintain homeostasis.When physical exercise is stopped, the activities of nerves, lungs, heart and kidney gradually return to their normal conditions.The neural system and the endocrine system jointly coordinate and integrate all the activities of the organs so that they function in a synchronised fashion.The somatic neural system relays impulses from the CNS to skeletal muscles. The autonomic neural system transmits impulses from the CNS to the involuntary organs and smooth muscles of the body.Transmission of nerve impulses is one mechanism of neural coordination.
In the neural system of the human body, mechanisms of neural coordination like transmission of nerve impulses, impulse conduction across a synapse, and the physiology of reflex action occurs.
