Answer
A
The hypothalamus regulates internal functioning in response to the external world.
B
The hypothalamus sends chemical messages to alert the pituitary gland.

Explanation

The hypothalamus is a region of the brain, not a structure located inside each endocrine gland. It helps regulate internal processes, influences the pituitary gland through chemical signals, and is involved in physiological and emotional reactions.
