Which of the following statements about the hypothalamus is not correct? A. The hypothalamus regulates internal functioning in response to the external world. B. The hypothalamus sends chemical messages to alert the pituitary gland. C. The hypothalamus is located in each endocrine gland to help regulate functioning. D. The hypothalamus regulates various physiological and emotional reactions.

Ansywer: (C) The hypothalamus is located in each endocrine gland to help regulate functioning.

Explanation: Hypothalamus is located at the base of the brain lying below the thalamus (in the third cerebral ventricle).

Hypothalamus is connected to pituitary gland and both modulates transmission of stimuli. It also regulates internal functioning in response to external stimuli and other functions.

Thus, all the above options are correct EXCEPT “it is located in each endocrine gland to help regulate functioning”.

for  example, forests have higher evapotranspiration than other ecosystems,  such  as grasslands, because of their deeper roots and greater leaf area. thus forests have a net moistening effect on the atmosphere and become a moisture source for downwind ecosystems.
