B. Thalamus








C. Hypothalamus








D. CerebrumThe Limbo system which controls automatic functions such as blood pressure is found in which part of the brain?
Yes, it is the hypothalamus.


It's the ';limbic system';, not the ';limbo system';.The Limbo system which controls automatic functions such as blood pressure is found in which part of the brain?
Closest here is C.





But it is a very poor question.





The Limbic system is not found IN the hypothalamus; the hypothalamus comprises one part OF the limbic system. It would be more appropriately worded as:


Which part of the limbic system controls ... blood pressure?





Also, many automatic functions (including much blood pressure regulation) are managed from the medulla oblongata.
C. the Hypothalamus - it is near the base of the brain
