Explanation:

Question 19

The body's thermostat (regulates body temperature) is located in the hypothalamus. The heart pumps blood, the cerebellum is for motor coordination, and the pituitary is an endocrine gland but not the thermostat.

Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment, a state of relative constancy (not absolute constant, and non - living things don't have homeostasis, it's not just about temperature or external adaptation).

Answer:

D. hypothalamus.
