|<big>Describe the location of the hypothalamus.

*The hypothalamus is in the ventral diencephalon in the floor of the third ventricle.

|-
|<big>Name the 6 nuclei of the hypothalamus and their individual functions.
||<font color="white"> <big>
*'''Paraventricular''' - Production of Oxytocin and ADH
*'''Supraoptic''' - Production of Oxytocin and ADH
*'''Suprachiasmatic''' - Circadian Rhythm and Biological Clock
*'''Lateral''' - Arousal
*'''Arcuate''' - Energy
*'''Mamillary''' - Wakefulness
||[[Hypothalamus - Anatomy & Physiology|Answer article]]
|-
|<big>Name the three things which the hypothalamus detects using ''direct receptors'':
||<font color="white"> <big>
*Termperature
*Osmolarity of the Blood
*Energy Balance
||[[Hypothalamus - Anatomy & Physiology|Answer article]]
|-
|<big>List the Hormones synthesised in the hypothalamus
||<font color="white"> <big>
*ADH
*Oxytocin
*Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH)
*Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GH-RH)
*Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone (GnRH)
*Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH)
*Prolactin Releasing Hormone (PRL-RH)
*Growth Hormone Inhibiting Hormone aka Somatostatin (GH-IH)
*Gonadotrophin Inhibiting Hormone (GnIH)
*Dopamine (PRL-IH)

||[[Hypothalamus - Anatomy & Physiology|Answer]]
|-
|<big>Describe what is meant by Negative Feedback with respect to the hypothalamus.
||<font color="white"> <big>
*The hypothalamus releases hormones which cause a response from other organs. The response then ''feeds back'' to the hypothalamus to limit the production of it's original hormone. This is a self-limiting system enabling the hypothalamus to control homeostasis.
