Which of the following parts of the body/glands maintains the body temperature?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Hypothalamus.

  • Hypothalamus maintains the body temperature. The hypothalamus checks our current temperature and compares it with the normal temperature of about 37°C.
  • If our temperature is too low, it makes sure that the body generates and maintains heat, and if it is too high, heat is given off or sweat is produced to cool the skin.
