The hypothalamus . The hypothalamus . influences the function of only one lobe of the pituitary gland synthesizes all of the hormones produced by the pituitary gland regulates both reproduction and body temperature produces only inhibitory hormones

Correct question:

The hypothalamus .

a) influences the function of only one lobe of the pituitary gland.

b) synthesizes all of the hormones produced by the pituitary gland.

c) regulates both reproduction and body temperature.

d) produces only inhibitory hormones.

C) Regulates both reproduction and body temperature.

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a small but important area in the center of the brain. It plays an important role in hormone production and helps to stimulate many important processes in the body and is located in the brain, between the pituitary gland and thalamus.

The hypothalamus’ main role is to keep the body in homeostasis as much as possible.

Homeostasis means a healthful, balanced bodily state.

The hypothalamus acts as the link between the endocrine and nervous systems to achieve this. It plays a part in many essential functions of the body such as: body temperature, thirst, appetite and weight control, emotions, sex drive, blood pressure and heart rate, production of digestive juices and balancing bodily fluids.

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c
