Answer

C

Explanation

The endocrine system, like the nervous system, is meant for internal communication and regulation of the animal body. These two systems operate in a coordinated way on many occasions. Many important functions of the endocrine system are in fact, under the control of the nervous system. Therefore, the two systems are often collectively called the neuroendocrine system.
