The main control center for maintaining mammalian body temperature is in the ___ .
Introduction: The hypothalamus is a small region in the brain located near the pituitary gland. When outside temperature declines, thermoreceptors in their skin send action potential to the hypothalamus; the brain region is responsible for thermoregulation. A signal from the hypothalamus causes vessels that deliver blood to the skin to contract, so less metabolic heat reaches the body surface.
Reasons for the correct statement:
Hypothalamus is the main center for vertebrate temperature control. Ā It helps in maintaining mammalian body temperature.
Hence, option d. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statement:
Option a. is given as āanterior pituitaryā. But, hypothalamus regulates body temperature not the anterior pituitary.
So, option a. is incorrect answer.
Option b. is given as ārenal cortexā...
