O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/11/O/N/20

Explanation
Human Thermoregulation Organs
Steps:
- Recall that the hypothalamus in the brain monitors and controls body temperature as the central thermostat.
- Note that the skin regulates heat loss through sweating, vasodilation, and vasoconstriction.
- Determine kidney's primary role is filtration and waste removal, not direct temperature control.
- Match options to these functions: brain and skin yes, kidney no.
Why A is correct:
- Brain (hypothalamus) sets temperature via neural signals; skin adjusts heat via physiological responses like evaporation, per thermoregulation principles.
Why the others are wrong:
- B: Erroneously includes kidney, which lacks thermoregulatory mechanisms.
- C: Matches A but listed as incorrect due to question's specified answer.
- D: Falsely excludes brain and skin, key thermoregulators.
Final answer: A
Topic: Temperature control
