hypothalamus
A
an area of the brain that helps conduct neural impulses from the brain to the spinal cord; regulates breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature
B
a process during which the central nervous system processes and interprets the information received through the sensory organs
C
movement that is out of a person’s control
D
a gland that serves as the control center of the autonomic nervous system, regulating heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and many other involuntary body functions
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It works directly on your autonomic system to seamlessly manage such functions as your heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature. It also works by releasing hormones that direct other hormones or other glands to manage other bodily functions like sleep, mood, muscle and bone growth and sexual drive.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hypothalamus is the key brain site for central control of the autonomic nervous system, and the paraventricular nucleus is the key hypothalamic site for this control. The major pathway from the hypothalamus for autonomic control is the dorsal longitudinal fasciculus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hypothalamus. The hypothalamus regulates functions like thirst, appetite, and sleep patterns. It also regulates the release of hormones from the pituitary gland.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your hypothalamus also tells your pituitary gland to produce and release hormones that affect other areas of your body. Your pituitary gland is connected to your hypothalamus through a stalk of blood vessels and nerves (the pituitary stalk).
