Which of the following represents the most likely location of sensory receptors that monitor internal body temperature and serum osmolarity?
a. carotid bodies
b. hypothalamus
c. solitary nucleus
d. nucleus ambiguus
e. anterolateral medulla

The correct option is: b. Hypothalamus

Explanation:

Hypothalamus is a small structure present below the thalamus of the brain. It is part of the central nervous system, which contains several nuclei having diverse functions.

It is responsible for producing and secreting neurohormones that stimulates or inhibits the secretion of the pituitary hormones.

The hypothalamus is the primary location of sensory receptors and the thermostat of the body. It is responsible for monitoring the internal body temperature and serum osmolarity.

b would be the right answer

both male and female gametes are produced by meiosis of the germ cells. therefore, both male and female gametes are haploid. one male and one female gamete unite during the fertilization to form the diploid zygote. in seed bearing plants, pollen grain is the male gametophyte, which produces sperm cells.
