Which function is not controlled by the hypothalamus?
Correct answer: D. Store long time memory
- A. Regulates hunger
- B. Regulate sleep
- C. Regulate water balance
- D. Store long time memory
Explanation
The hypothalamus functions as the body's main control center for maintaining internal balance, or homeostasis, and connects the nervous and endocrine systems. Its functions include regulating body temperature, hunger, thirst, sleep cycles, and emotional responses, as well as controlling the endocrine system by influencing the pituitary gland. It also regulates heart rate, blood pressure, sexual behavior, and stress responses. It is not involved with memory storage. Hence, option D is the correct option.

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.
