MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Explain how feedback mechanisms controlled by the hypothalamus help maintain body temperature when exposed to a cold environment. (DoK Level 3)

The hypothalamus ignores temperature changes and allows the body to cool down

The hypothalamus receives input from thermoreceptors and triggers responses such as shivering and vasoconstriction to restore balance

The hypothalamus increases sweating to cool the body further

The hypothalamus only monitors temperature but does not initiate any response
