What are the three main functions of the hypothalamus?
Answer
  • Autonomic nervous system function
  • Endocrine function
  • Behavioural patterns
  • Motor patterns
  • Thoughts

Question 14

Question
Exteroreceptors and Interoreceptors input to the hypothalamus via the ANS which monitor the internal and external body environments respectively.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 15

Question
Outputs of the hypothalamus to the ANS go via the brain stem and give rise to the SNS and PNS.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 16

Question
The hypothalamus is linked directly to both the anterior and posterior pituitary gland.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 17

Question
Neurohormones released from axonal projections from the hypothalamus to the posterior pituitary travel directly into the bloodstream and into the circulation.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 18

Question
Name two hypothalamic inputs that would monitor short-term behavioural aspects
Answer
  • Glucose receptors - detect glucose levels
  • Mechanoreceptors - detect how full you are
  • Metaboreceptors - detect how full you are by the accumulation of metabolites at a site
  • Baroreceptors - detect how full you are by pressure on the walls

Question 19

Question
Leptin is a hormone released from
Answer
  • Adipose tissue
  • The hypothalamus
  • The liver
  • Connective tissue

Question 20

Question
Leptin acts on the hypothalamus to result in what effects?
Answer
  • Increased metabolic rate (via pituitary and ANS)
  • Decreased feeding behaviour (limbic system)
  • Decreased metabolic rate (via pituitary and ANS)
  • Increased feeding behaviour (limbic system)

Question 21

Question
The arcuate nucleus contains a high density of leptin receptors.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 22

Question
