The Hypothalamus -

  • The hypothalamus is the basal part of the diencephalon of the forebrain.
  • It develops from the ectoderm.
  • It regulates a wide spectrum of body functions. 
  • It contains several groups of neurosecretory cells called nuclei which produce hormones.
  • These hormones regulate the synthesis and secretion of pituitary hormones.
  • The hormones produced by the hypothalamus are of two types:
    • the releasing hormones (which stimulate secretion of pituitary hormones) 
    • the inhibiting hormones (which inhibit secretions of pituitary hormones)
