Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ventromedial hypothalamus is responsible for regulating feelings of fullness and satiation. Therefore, Cory, whose ventromedial hypothalamus is active, is most likely to be satiated. The other options suggest low glucose levels (A), low leptin levels (C), and inactive stretch receptors (D), all of which are associated with feelings of hunger rather than satiation.
