Answer:

The correct answer to fill in the blank for the question: At the Holy Frijoles restaurant, you order a burrito grande with extra sour cream and cheese and an order of tortilla chips with guacamole. You´re very satisfied with your meal- it´s a lot of food- and as you finish off the last of the chips, the satiety center in your:____, starts letting you know you´ve had enought to eat now, would be: ventromedial nucleus of the Hypothalamus.

Explanation:

The center that has been known in the brain to be associated with the sensation of satiety when eating is the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus. As the stomach distends with the contents in it, nerve centers there start firing towards the hypothalamic centers, where this ventromedial nuclei receives the message and produces the sensation that satiety has been reached, and fullness has been reached. It is this message that will stop the feeling of hunger from taking over and this is what has happened to the person who ate the huge burrito.
