AB OBJECTIVESAfter  reading  this  chapter,  you  should  be  able  to:Describe  the  anatomic  connections  between  the  hypothalamus  and  the  pituitary  gland  and  the  functional  significance  of  each  connection.Define  the  role  of  the  hypothalamus  in  producing  and  secreting  hormones  of  the  posterior  pituitary.Discuss  the  effects  of  vasopressin,  the  receptors  on  which  it  acts,  and  how  its  secretion  is  regulated.Discuss  the  effects  of  oxytocin,  the  receptors  on  which  it  acts,  and  how  its  secretion  is  regulated.Outline  the  hypophysiotropic  hormones,  and  the  effect  each  has  on  anterior  pituitary  function.List  the  temperature-regulating  mechanisms,  and  describe  the  way  in  which  they  are  integrated  under  hypothalamic  control  to  maintain  normal  body  temperature  in  both  cold  and  heat  stress.Explain  how  the  hypothalamus  regulates  water  intake,  and  outline  how  thirst  is  regulatedDiscuss  the  pathophysiology  of  fever.
