Answer 1

The Hypothalumus is the most acurate analogy as it regulates the hormone production and release.

Answer 2

(C). hypothalamus.

Step-by-step explanation:

In humans, thermoregulation (regulation of normal body temperature) is done by hypothalamus. When body temperature gets too high or low, hypothalamus sends signals to glands, muscles, and to nervous system.

These organs respond in various ways to help in maintaining body temperature by returning the temperature to normal.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
