Which of the following acts as thermoregulator?

Correct answer: D. Hypothalamus

  • A. Cerebrum
  • B. Cerebellum
  • C. Thalamus
  • D. Hypothalamus

Explanation

The hypothalamus acts as the body's thermoregulatory centre by comparing blood temperature with a set point and coordinating sweating, shivering and changes in blood flow. Students may choose the thalamus because its name is similar and it relays sensory information, but it does not control body temperature.
