How do the functions of the HPA axis compare to those of the sympathetic nervous system? A. The sympathetic nervous system readies the body for brief, vigorous action, and the HPA axis controls digestion and other vegetative activities. B. The sympathetic nervous system activates the brain, and the HPA axis activates the rest of the body. C. The sympathetic nervous system readies the body for brief, vigorous action, and the HPA axis prepares the body for prolonged coping with a persistent stressor. D. The sympathetic nervous system is active during a stressful situation, and the HPA axis becomes active at the end of the stressful situation.

Melatonin is a hormone made by the pineal gland, a small gland in the brain. Melatonin helps control your sleep and wake cycles. Evaluate each statement below and select the statement that best describes the pathway. Select one: a. Light on the retina stimulates the hypothalamus to send a signal to the pineal gland to stop producing melatonin, signalling the body to go to sleep. b. Light on the retina stimulates the hypothalamus to send a signal to the pineal gland to increase the production of melatonin, signalling the body to go to sleep. c. Light on the retina stimulates the hypothalamus to send a signal to the pineal gland to stop producing melatonin, signalling the body to wake up. d. Light on the retina stimulates the hypothalamus to send a signal to the pineal gland to increase the production of melatonin, signalling the body to wake up.
