Hypothalamus
position
Floor of third ventricle (Tuber cinerum and Mamillary bodies) MM TC
Tuber cinerum: infundibulum Median Eminence Lat. Eminence Postinfundibular Eminenece
Hypothalamus zones By fornix and mamillothalamic tract 1- medial zone 2- lateral zone
Medial zone 1- suprachiasmatic region 2- tuber cinerum region 3- mamillary region
Lateral zone 1- Lateral nucleus 2-Lateral tuberal nuclei
Lateral zone
Functions of hypothalamic nuclei 1-contol of endocrine glands via pituitary gland
Two ways of control 1- Tuberoinfundibular tract (related to ant lobe or adenohypophys) 2- Hypothalamohypophyseal tract( related to post lobe or neurohypophys)
Functions of hypothalamic nuclei 1-contol of body tempreture
Ant. nucleus post. nucleus
Functions of hypothalamic nuclei 1-contol of behavior
Functions of hypothalamic nuclei 1- water balance Lateral nucleus
Functions of hypothalamic nuclei 1- circadian cycle Suprachiasmatic nucleus
Functions of hypothalamic nuclei 1-Control of autonomic system Postro-lateral (sympathetic response) Antro-medial (parasympathetic response)
