D) thalamus

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus is responsible for the central coordination of vertebrate biological rhythms in physiology and behaviour. It is the master clock that regulates circadian rhythms and synchronizes them with external cues, such as light and temperature. The pituitary gland, cerebrum, and thalamus are important structures in the brain, but they do not have the same role in regulating biological rhythms.
