Pregunta
What are the three main functions of the hypothalamus?
Pregunta 14
Pregunta
Exteroreceptors and Interoreceptors input to the hypothalamus via the ANS which monitor the internal and external body environments respectively.
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
Outputs of the hypothalamus to the ANS go via the brain stem and give rise to the SNS and PNS.

Pregunta
The hypothalamus is linked directly to both the anterior and posterior pituitary gland.
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
Neurohormones released from axonal projections from the hypothalamus to the posterior pituitary travel directly into the bloodstream and into the circulation.
