Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus is responsible for regulating thirst and hunger, along with other bodily functions such as body temperature and hormone secretion. When you exercise, your body temperature rises and you lose fluids through sweating, which signals the hypothalamus to increase thirst to prompt you to drink more water and rehydrate.
