ENDOCRINOLOGY; HYPOTHALAMUS; ADH & OXYTOCIN by Professor Fink

Professor Fink first describes some of the major functions of the Hypothalamus of the Brain, including the Thermoregulatory Reflex Center, the Appetite/Satiety Reflex Center, Osmoregulatory (Thirst) Reflex Center and the Parturition/Milk Let-Down Reflex Center. The function of Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH; Vasopressin) is then described and the Negative Feedback Loop that regulates the tonicity of the body fluids.
