#### 5. The Hypothalamus
a) Contains neurons whose axons make up the posterior pituitary gland.  
b) Contains neurons that produce factors to control production of hormones from the anterior pituitary.  
c) Is a center for control of reproductive functions, body temperature, and sleep-wake cycles.  
d) **All the above (a, b, and c) are correct.**

#### 6. Wallerian Degeneration
a) Only refers to sympathetic nerve degeneration.  
b) Is the term given to degeneration of peripheral nerve axons distal to the site of injury.  
c) Refers to nerve degeneration that can never be restored.  
d) Refers to cerebrocerebellar degeneration.

#### 7. The Cranial Nerve that Provides Parasympathetic Innervation to the Heart and Digestive Tract is the
a) Glossopharyngeal (IX)  
b) **Vagus (X)**  
c) Abducens (VI)  
d) Trigeminal (V)  

### Explanation:
This series of questions explores important concepts in neuroanatomy and physiology, particularly focusing on the hypothalamus' role in endocrine control, the process of Wallerian degeneration, and the functions of cranial nerves. Understanding these concepts is crucial for grasping how the nervous system regulates various bodily functions.
