Which part of the human brain regulates the body temperature and the urge for hunger and thirst ?
Hypothalamus
The forebrain contains a small region below the thalamus that acts as the body’s homeostatic control centre and links the nervous system to the endocrine system through the pituitary gland.
The hypothalamus contains the thermoregulatory centre that keeps body temperature steady, along with the hunger (feeding) and satiety centres and the thirst centre that monitors the water balance of blood. It also controls the release of hormones from the pituitary.
The medulla controls involuntary actions such as heartbeat, breathing, vomiting and blood pressure. The cerebellum maintains posture, balance and coordination of voluntary movements. The cerebrum is the seat of thinking, memory, intelligence and voluntary actions. Since one listed part controls these urges, “None of the above” is not correct.
Hypothalamus option is correct.
