ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Our internal body temperature is regulated by a part of our brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus checks our current temperature and compares it with the normal temperature of about 37°C. If our temperature is too low, the hypothalamus makes sure that the body generates and maintains heat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hypothalamus does not control thinking and consciousness which is controlled by cerebrum (a part of the forebrain). Hypothalamus is a control centre of the autonomic nervous system. It controls hunger, thirst, sleeping, osmoregulation, thermoregulation, emotions-like love, anger, pleasure, etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hypothalamus helps manage your body temperature, hunger and thirst, mood, sex drive, blood pressure and sleep.

Detailed explanation-4: -In homeotherms, temperature homeostasis is regulated primarily in the preoptic area (POA) of the hypothalamus.
