Ksju [112]

Answer:

The correct option is A) the hypothalamus

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a part of the diencephalon located below the thalamus and formed by several nuclei of neurons with their associated nerve fibers, many of them neurosecretory nature, that is, to the hypothalamus, afferent and efferent pathways arrive and depart respectively, which connect it with different regions of the brain and outside it, receives signals from internal sensory receptors and, in response, sends orders through pathways in which very few synapses intervene to quickly generate regulatory responses, for this reason, the hypothalamus is considered the center of neuroendocrine, autonomous and homeostatic regulation, which acts as an integrating center coordinating environmental messages, rhythms, endogenous development patterns, emotions and body signals, to finally produce, in an integrated way, early autonomous responses and relatively late endocrine responses.

<h3>What are cells?</h3>
  • Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. The human body is comprised of trillions of cells. They deliver structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into significance, and carry out technical functions.
  • Cells are of two types: eukaryotic, which include a nucleus, and prokaryotic cells, which do not have a nucleus, but a nucleoid province is still present. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms, while eukaryotes may be either single-celled or multicellular.
  • They deliver structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into significance, and carry out technical functions. Cells also include the body's genetic material and can make duplicates of themselves. Cells have multiple parts, each with a separate function.
