Sample itemWhat brain region is the major thermostat for body temperature?
Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.
The answer and the reasoning
A. Hypothalamus
The core Temperature regulation relationship supports Hypothalamus; it is the response that directly accounts for the structural location or physiological change described.
Option by option
A. Hypothalamus (correct)
Correct. Hypothalamus is directly supported by the central clue.
B. Occipital lobe
Occipital lobe is not consistent with the key finding in the stem.
C. Cerebellum
Cerebellum is associated with a different temperature regulation relationship.
D. Hippocampus
Hippocampus does not fulfill the structural or functional role requested.
