1. Name the region of the brain that plays a role in whether we feel hungry or full. What about blood
can trigger this region to make us want to eat?
The hypothalamus is the region of the brain that plays a role in whether we feel hungry or full.
Hormones, such as ghrelin, are released from the stomach, enter the bloodstream, and go to the
hypothalamus to tell us we are hungry and to find food. Another association with our blood and
sense of hunger is when our blood sugar levels get low and triggers the hypothalamus to tell us to
eat.
