Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypothalamus. The hypothalamus regulates functions like thirst, appetite, and sleep patterns.

Detailed explanation-2: -The amygdala is the primary brain area regulating appetite with response to emotions. Indeed, the amygdala activates to food cues [124, 125], and this response is increased in childhood, adolescent, and adult obesity [126-129].

Detailed explanation-3: -Food entering the digestive systems causes nerve impulses to be sent to the brain; in response, the brain sends messages to the cardiovascular system to increase heart rate and dilate blood vessels in the digestive organs.

Detailed explanation-4: -The autonomic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiologic processes including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, digestion, and sexual arousal. It contains three anatomically distinct divisions: sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nervous system controls the digestive system by sending signals to the brain and organs. The brain sends signals to the stomach, intestines, pancreas, liver, and other organs through nerve cells called neurons. Some of these neurons pass on messages from one part of the body to another through electrical impulses.
