- B. Medial hypothalamic nuclei
- C. Lateral hypothalamic nuclei
- D. Ventral hypothalamic nuclei
- E. Posterior hypothalamic nuclei
Hint
Among the listed hypothalamic nuclei, consider which ones coordinate the body's defence against cold (shivering, heat production, skin vasoconstriction), and which others are tied to water balance and feeding.
