Hypothalamus
Hypothalamus[1] (a Graeco ὑποθαλαμος 'infra thalamum') sive hypothalamium[2] est glandula corporis hominis animaliumque mammalium, pars diencephali cerebri quae nonnullos parvos nucleos effectus varios habentes continet. Una ex functionibus principalibus est systema nervosum cum systemate endocrine coniungere per glandulam pituitariam (hypophysin).
Hypothalamus neurohormonta effundit, qui alacritatem glandulae pituitariae et ergo inspiciunt
Structura hypothalamiRecensere
Hypothalamus in plures areae dividitur.
Area rostralisRecensere
Commentatio principalis: Area hypothalami rostralis
Hac area atribuuntur nucleus praeopticus periventricularis et nucleus supraopticus (SON) et nucleus suprachiasmaticus (SCN).
Area intermediaRecensere
Commentatio principalis: Area hypothalami intermedia
Hac area atribuuntur nuclei sequentes: nucleus dorsalis, nucleus dorsomedialis, nucleus arcuatus (sive nc. infundibularis), nucleus periventricularis, nucleus periventricularis posterior, area retrochiasmatica, nuclei tuberales laterales, nucleus ventromedialis.
Area lateralisRecensere
Commentatio principalis: Area hypothalami lateralis
Hac area atribuuntur nuclei tuberales laterales.
Area posteriorRecensere
Commentatio principalis: Area hypothalami posterior
Hac area atribuuntur nucleus posterior, nucleus tuberomammillaris.
