Centre for regulating body temperature is
A
Pons
B
Cerebellum
C
Medulla
D
Hypothalamus
Explanation: 

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: -The hypothalamus helps keep the body’s internal functions in balance. It helps regulate: Appetite and weight. Body temperature.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hypothalamus is responsible for controlling the body temperature.

Detailed explanation-4: -Previous studies have shown that the preoptic area (POA) of the hypothalamus plays an important role in maintaining a stable Tcore via afferent inputs from skin thermoreceptors. The direct sensing of changes in skin temperature, in turn, activates POA efferent signals that control thermal effector organs (1, 2).

Detailed explanation-5: -Your hypothalamus, a structure deep in your brain, acts as your body’s smart control coordinating center. Its main function is to keep your body in a stable state called homeostasis. It does its job by directly influencing your autonomic nervous system or by managing hormones.
