General Neuroanatomy Flashcards
Hypothalmus components and their function:
- Anterior nucleus of hypothalamus
- Posterior hypothalamus
- lateral hypothalamus
- Arcuate nucleus
- periventricular hypothalamus
- Anterior nucleus of hypothalamus
- Regulates body temperature
- initiating reflexes designed to reduce body temperature
- Poseterior hypothalmus
- Heat producing reflexes
- catecholamine secretion
- Lateral hypothalamus
- thirst
- Arcuate nucleus
- prolactin secretion
- Periventricular nucleus
- TSH secretion
