Hypothalamus connected to pituitary gland via:
Correct answer: B. Infundibulum
- A. Nerves
- B. Infundibulum
- C. Blood
- D. No connection
Explanation
The hypothalamus is connected to the pituitary gland via the infundibulum, which is a funnel-shaped structure that physically links the two. This connection allows the hypothalamus to regulate the pituitary gland's hormone secretion. The other options are incorrect as nerves, blood, or no connection do not directly link these two structures in the central nervous system.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
