- Thermoreceptors in the hypothalamus sense the temperature of the blood. When blood temperature begins to decrease, the hypothalamus releases TRH, which stimulates the release of TSH from the anterior pituitary gland. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to release thyroid hormone (TH). TH stimulates an increase in body temperature, which causes the hypothalamus to decrease the release of TRH. In this reflex pathway, what is the response? A) Increased body temperature B) Increased release of TH C) Thermoreceptors D) Decreased release of TRHarrow_forwardThe _____ is an area of the hypothalamus that initiates eating and controls several aspects of feeding behavior and metabolic processes. It controls chewing and swallowing, salivation, gastric juice secretion, and insulin production. It also arouses the cortex, causing increased locomotion and food-seeking behavior.

However, the action of epinephrine is much faster than glucagon.Select the row below that explains why. Select one: a. Body's Response to Fear Body's Response to Low Blood Sugar Levels The hypothalamus releases ACTH. ACTH tells the adrenal medulla to release epinephrine. Beta cells release insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin tells the liver, muscles, and fat to convert glycogen to glucose. b. Body's Response to Fear Body's Response to Low Blood Sugar Levels The hypothalamus releases ACTH. ACTH tells the adrenal medulla to release epinephrine. Alpha cells release glucagon into the bloodstream. Glucagon tells the liver, muscles, and fat to convert glycogen to glucose. c.
