Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hypothalamus is responsible for regulating body temperature and is able to detect changes in temperature both internally and externally. When the internal core temperature increases, the hypothalamus sends chemical signals to the body to respond through various mechanisms such as sweating, vasodilation, and panting. The cerebellum, amygdala, and hippocampus are not involved in temperature regulation.
