4. Major Efferent Projections From the Hypothalamus. Once thehypothalamus is aware of a problem, it fixes the problem via thefollowing routes of communication:a. Neural signals to the autonomic nervous system via projections tothe brain stem vagal nuclei and to preganglionic nuclei in the spinalcordb. Neural signals to the limbic systemc. Endocrine signals to/through the pituitary glandUltimately through these connections the hypothalamus can controlevery endocrine gland and alter blood pressure, body temperatureand metabolism to maintain body homeostasis.
5. The Hypothalamo-pituitary Connection:a. Pituitary gland: lies beneath the brain and is formed by 2distinct parts: a neural part, the neurohypophysis, and aglandular component derived from oral epithelium, called theadenohypophysis.
