The nerve centres, which control the body temperature and the urge for eating are contained in
A. Thalamus
B. Hypothalamus
C. Pons
D. Cerebellum

Explanation

Solution

The three major parts, known as cell body, dendrites, and axon, make a microscopic structure called a neuron. The nerve centre is made up of the neurons, and thus, it is the most part which is strictly localized. The function of nerve cells (that is, neurons) in the nervous system is to aggregate that unceasingly contributes to the implementation of reflexes. However, they also participate in the guideline of a specific function or some feature of that purpose.

Complete answer:
Thalamus: Thalamus is a sensory relay in visual, auditory, somatosensory, and gustatory systems. And it also has significant roles and motor activity, emotion, and other sensory-motor association functions.
Hypothalamus: Hypothalamus is the reason for our body temperature and the urge for eating and drink. Also, several groups of neurosecretory cells, which secrete hormones called hypothalamic hormones contained by the hypothalamus. Cerebral hemispheres have some inner parts and associated deep structures like the amygdala, hippocampus, which combine to form a complex structure called the limbic lobe(limbic system). Along with the hypothalamus, it is involved in regulating sexual behaviour, expression of emotional reactions, for example, excitement, fear, and motivation.
Pons: they consist of a nuclei, which help them to relay signals from the forebrain to the cerebellum. it is said that other than nuclei they also possess the ability to deal with our actions such as sleep and respiration, etc.
Cerebellum: Cerebellum is to coordinate muscle groups' timing and force to produce fluid limb or body movements. It is also used in certain cognitive functions.
So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note:
As we know already, the hypothalamus is the master coordinator of hormonal action in the brain. Because of the response from the central nervous system's stimuli, the hypothalamus liberates certain releasing factors or hormones. The target of the endocrine tissues is to secrete the hormones that help in synthesizing tropic hormones. The bond between the hypothalamus and pituitary with endocrine glands is illustrated. Under the feedback control, the hormonal system exists. The release of corresponding tropic hormones from the anterior pituitary stimulates these factors.
