Diurnal rhythms are the same as circadian rhythms?
Not exactly. Circadian rhythms are a subset of diurnal rhythms. Diurnal rhythms reoccur daily and can be circadian and non-circadian. Circadian rhythms can be set by the environment (entrainment), but are not dependent on environment stimulus for continuation (free-running) (ie. hormone secretion). Non-circadian rhythms are responsive to the environment, but still operate on a daily cycle (ie. the process of photosynthesis).
Where are circadian rhythms located?
The pineal gland secretes the hormone melatonin, which is involved in the control of circadian rhythms

What are the anatomical structures responsible for circadian rhythms?
Mostly the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the brain. The pineal gland is also involved.
Is Melatonin involved with circadian rhythms?

Circadian rhythms are examples of?
daily cycles
Does the hypothalamus control circadian rhythms?

What hormone is linked to circadian rhythms?
epinephrine
What are circadian rhythms associated with jet lag?
Circadian rhythms are a living organisms day/night cycles, daylight interacting with body hormone chemistry.
Is hypothalamus responsible for consciousness?
No, the hypothalamus is not responsible for overall consciousness. Its responsibilities include releasing certain hormones, controlling body temperature, hunger, sleep, and circadian rhythms.
