anterior hypothalamus
sympathetic regulation
which part of hypothalamus
posterior hypothalamus
circadian rythms governed by what nucleus of hypothalamus
suprachiasmatic
which part of hypothalamus regulates heat conservation and production when cold
posterior hypothalamus

no posterior hypothalamus -> poikilotherm (cold blooded)
part of hypothalamus which coordinates cooling when hot
anterior hypothalamus
A/C = anterior cooling
sexual urges and emotions
which hypothalamus nucleus?
septal nucleus
what is the result of destruction of septal nucleus of hypothalamus
rage
thalamus function
relay for ascending sensory information that ultimately reaches the cortex
inputs of posterior pituitary
supraoptic (ADH) and peraventricular (oxytocin) nuclei

oxytocin; oxys = quick; tocos = birth
hormone secreted (via neurohypophysis) of supraoptic nucleus
ADH
hormone secreted (via neurohypophysis) of paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus
oxytocin
