Because it is in the brain, contains neurons(soma) in nuclei (regions or clumps of neuron soma), receives synaptic inputs from the brainstem (itself a part of the nervous system), and projects neural outputs to other parts of the brain .
It should be noted though, that the hypothalamus also has an endocrine function in addition to its nervous system function, in that it controls the anterior pituitary, a "master gland" which releases many different hormones which can control other glands, such as thyroid stimulating hormone, Adrenocorticotrophic hormone, Gonadotropins, growth hormone, and others.
What else can I help you with?
What organ system does the hypothalamus belong to?
The hypothalamus controls the autonomic functions of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). It helps maintain homeostatic functions.
The hypothalamus is in what system?
The hypothalamus is a part of the central nervous system.
Which brain structure serves as a relay station between the brain and the endocrine system?
The hypothalamus has neural outputs to the pituitary gland, which is the main gland for the endocrine system
What brain structure provides a major link between the nervous system and the endocrine system?
The hypothalamus is the endocrine gland that links the endocrine and nervous systems. It controls many of the pituitary hormone levels and also controls body water levels. The hypothalamus is located in the brain.the thyriod gland
Which system contains the hypothalamus and pineal gland?
Both the hypothalamus and the pineal gland are in the endocrine system, although the former is a part of the nervous system (in the brain) that interfaces the endocrine system.
What organ system does the hypothalamus belong to?
The hypothalamus controls the autonomic functions of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). It helps maintain homeostatic functions.
What organ system does hypothalamus belong to?
The hypothalamus controls the autonomic functions of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). It helps maintain homeostatic functions.
The hypothalamus is in what system?
The hypothalamus is a part of the central nervous system.
What does the portal system link the hypothalamus to?
The portal system links the anterior pituitary gland to the hypothalamus.
Is the hypothalamus considered a part of the nervous system?
Yes, the hypothalamus is considered a part of the nervous system.
What is the major area where the nervous system and endocrine system interact?
That would be the hypothalamus, the gland of homeostasis.
Which brain structure serves as a relay station between the brain and the endocrine system?
The hypothalamus has neural outputs to the pituitary gland, which is the main gland for the endocrine system
What connects the endocrine system and the nervous system?
hypothalamus
What is the opposite of the hypothalamus?
The hypothalamus is a region of the forebrain that coordinates the autonomic nervous system and the activity of the pituitary. There is no opposite or antonym if you like for hypothalamus.
What brain structure provides a major link between the nervous system and the endocrine system?
The hypothalamus is the endocrine gland that links the endocrine and nervous systems. It controls many of the pituitary hormone levels and also controls body water levels. The hypothalamus is located in the brain.the thyriod gland
The endocrine system is controlled by the?
hypothalamus.
Is hypothalamus an endocrine gland?
