Answer 1

**34.** The correct answer is **The influence of the amygdala over the cortex is stronger than the cortex over the amygdala.**The amygdala is the part of the brain associated with emotional responses, while the prefrontal cortex is responsible for higher-level cognitive functions like planning and decision-making. In adolescents, the prefrontal cortex is still developing, while the amygdala is more mature. This imbalance leads to teens being more influenced by their emotions and taking more risks.**35.** The correct answer is **Shift blood to/from the skin and seek shelter.**These are both autonomic, unconscious functions regulated by the hypothalamus in response to cold. Shivering is also an automatic response, but "going to put your jacket on" is a conscious decision. Recognizing you feel cold is a conscious perception, not a regulatory function. The change in heart rate is part of the body's response, but seeking shelter and shifting blood flow are more directly related to temperature regulation.**36.** The correct answer is **Shift blood to/from skin and shivering to increase body temperature.**These are both *unconscious* regulatory functions controlled by the brain (specifically, the hypothalamus) to maintain body temperature. Seeking warmer shelter is a *conscious* behavioral response, not an unconscious regulatory function. Changes in heart rate are part of the overall response, but these two options are the most direct unconscious regulatory functions related to thermoregulation.
