Document Summary
The hypothalamus and the clock: the central microprocessor regulating the brain and body. Any complex computer needs a microprocessor and a clock. Microprocessor- very small region in the brain that regulates everything. 40% produce signaling molecules that control the body and coordinate the integration of functions: specific loci that work together, output shows a coordinated response, clock one of the major coordinators located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the hypothalamus. Hypothalamus: some is wired to the pit. Gland: the rest signals to the median eminence- interact with each other rather than being directly connected. Instead, they secrete and surround the pituitary that will produce the hormones o. Some of the very well recognized nts like dopamine act like hormones in the hypothalamus: growth hormone axis. They signal through the median eminence to the blood and turns on somatotropin releasing cells that make gh. Definite temporal structure and function: actual structure of the regulation very similar.
