Question

Hypothalamus does not control
a. Hunger and satiety
b. Thermoregulation
c. Libido
d. Creative thinking and consciousness
e. Osmoregulation

Answer 1

Hint: Hypothalamus is the endocrine gland. It regulates various body functions and also regulates the release of hormones. The cerebrum part of the brain functions for the intelligence, judgement, coordination of movement and problem solving ability. Hypothalamus contains a higher nerve centre which regulates temperature and osmotic pressure.

Complete answer:
Hypothalamus plays a very important role in the coordination of body functions. It regulates the functioning of the pituitary gland and nervous system.
It controls various body functions such as temperature regulation, hunger, thirst and osmoregulation. It is the part of the brain which is responsible for the production of many of the body’s essential hormones and chemical substances. These hormones help to control different cells and organs and also govern physiological functions such as temperature, regulation, thirst, hunger, sleep, mood, sexual desire and release other hormones within the body.
Hypothalamus acts as a link between the nervous and endocrine systems. It receives the signals from other parts of the body and also from the hormones in the blood.
The frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex regulates the creative thinking and consciousness.
From the above information we have found that Hypothalamus does not control creative thinking and consciousness.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note: The regulating hormones, oxytocin, and vasopressin are the major group of hormones secreted by the hypothalamus. It gets excited by the appropriate stimuli and transfers impulses to the axon endings of the neurosecretory cells. Due to this, the stored hormones are released into the blood. They also regulate the production and release of pituitary tropic hormones.
