Question

hypothalamus controls the following functions of the body excluding what?

Answer 1

hypothalamus controls the following functions of the body excluding (d) Creative thinking and consciousness

Explanation:

1.Hypothalamus contains higher nerve centre for temperature regulation, hunger, thirst and osmoregulation.

2.The hypothalamus is a section of the brain responsible for the production of many of the body’s essential hormones, chemical substances that help control different cells and organs.

3. The hormones from the hypothalamus govern physiologic functions such as temperature regulation, thirst, hunger, sleep, mood, sex drive, and the release of other hormones within the body.

4.This area of the brain houses the pituitary gland and other glands in the body. Creative thinking and consciousness are regulated by mainly the frontal lobe of cerebral cortex.

Answer 2

Answer: Hypothalamus does not control analysis of stimuli received through sense organs.

The different functions of Hypothalamus are-

1. Regulating body temperature
2. Maintaining homeostasis.
3. Controls secretion of melatonin and therefore sleep.

Whereas Creative thinking and consciousness is regulated by frontal lobe of cerebral cortex which helps in analysis of stimuli through different sense organs.

Thus, CORRECT OPTION IS (d).
