Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus is located in the brainstem and serves as the integration and command center for autonomic functions such as regulating body temperature, hunger, thirst, and hormone secretion. The medulla is responsible for regulating heart rate and respiration, but does not have as broad of a role in autonomic functions as the hypothalamus. The cerebral cortex is responsible for conscious thought and perception, while the spinal cord primarily serves to relay sensory and motor information.
