The hypothalamus is the area where afferent impulses from all senses and all parts of the body are sorted out and then relayed to the appropriate area of the sensory cortex. A. TrueB. False

False

Explanation:

Hypothalamus is responsible for performing vital functions such as regulating the release of hormones and body temperature, controlling the appetite and sexual behaviour and also manages the emotional responses and thus is an essential part of the brain.

Structurally it has three main parts and all the three parts have individual nuclei whose major function is to release hormone which then interact with pituitary gland and modulate release of further more hormones. It has no role in receiving the impulses from different parts of the body and then sending it to relevant section of the sensory cortex

Hence, the given statement is false
