Final Answer :
A, C, D
Explanation :
The nervous system functions to control muscles and glands (A), integrate information from different sources (C), and receive sensory input from the environment (D). It does not directly control protein synthesis (B) or stimulate muscle growth (E); these processes are more directly related to the endocrine system and cellular biology.
