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: -Thirst isn’t the brain’s only response to dehydration. When the body gets low on water, the hypothalamus increases the synthesis of an antidiuretic hormone called vasopressin, which is secreted by the pituitary gland and travels to the kidneys.
Detailed explanation-3: -The hypothalamus controls your pulse, thirst, appetite, sleep patterns, and other processes in your body that happen automatically. The hypothalamus also controls the pituitary gland, which makes the hormones that control growth, metabolism, water and mineral balance, sexual maturity, and response to stress.
