Lecture 10- limbic system Flashcards
what is the limbic lobe
cortical structure, circular boundary plus olfactory bulb
what lobe does the limbic lobe not touch
occipital lobe
where is the hypothalamus
anterolateral wall of 3rd ventricle
superior to optic chiasm
what is the function of the hypothalamus
homeostasis
reproduction
bridge endocrine and nervous system
what is the function of the lateral nucleus in the hypothalamus
increase appetite and food intake
what is the function of the ventromedial nucleus in the hypothalamus
decrease appetite and food intake
what is the function of the posterior nucleus in the hypothalamus
increase body temp
constrict blood vessels in skin
decrease sweat
causes shivering
what is the function of the anterior nucleus in the hypothalamus
decrease body temp
produces sweat
dilates blood vessels
what is the function of the paraventricular nucleus in the hypothalamus
produces oxytocin
contractions of uterus
milk secretion
what is the function of the supraoptic nucleus in the hypothalamus
produces ADH
constricts blood vessels
kidneys absorb water to increase BP
where does to paraventricular and supraoptic nucleus project and what is produced
neurohypophysis in the pituitary gland produces SAD POX for mating, bonding, and brain development
where is the neurohypophysis
diencephalon
what hormones are produced when the hypothalamus projects to the adenohypophysis
thyrotropin-releasing
growth horomone-releasing
somatosatin
corticotropin-realeasing
gonadotropin-releasing
prolactin-releasing
where is the adenohypophysis
posterior oral cavity
Rathke pouch
what carries the hormones to the adenohypophysis
hypophysial portal vein
what type of reflex id the temp regulation reflex
intrinsic
autonomic reflex
what is temp regulation reflex
specialized temp-sensing neurons
pends on blood temp with set point of 37 deg C
where is heat dissipation triggered in the hypothalamus
rostral hypothalamus
where is heat conservation/production triggered in the hypothalamus
caudal hypothalamus
what is a fever
cytokines/bacterial endotoxin increase the temp setpoint
what syndrome is known for activating the temp regulation reflex due to irregular body temp setpoint
postmenopausal
what type of reflex is water balance reflex
neurohumoral
autonomic
what is the water balance reflex
specialized osmolarity-sensing neurons
what does the water balance reflex pend on
plasma osmolarity
what happens if plasma osmolarity is too high
increase ADH
supraoptic nucleus
what happens if plasma osmolarity is too low
decrease ADH
supraoptic nucleus
what blocks ADH release and the result
alcoholism
urination
what is diabetes insipidus
not enough ADH released into the blood
what type of reflex is baroreceptor reflex
extrinsic
autonomic
what innervates afferent signals for baroreceptor reflex
CN IX carotid sinus
over X aortic arch
