Anatomical terms of location
Standard anatomical terms of location deal unambiguously with the anatomy of animals, including humans.

Angiotensin
Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Angiotensin · See more »
Area postrema
The area postrema is a medullary structure in the brain that controls vomiting.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Area postrema · See more »
Blood–brain barrier
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective semipermeable membrane barrier that separates the circulating blood from the brain and extracellular fluid in the central nervous system (CNS).
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Blood–brain barrier · See more »
Brainstem
The brainstem (or brain stem) is the posterior part of the brain, adjoining and structurally continuous with the spinal cord.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Brainstem · See more »
Circulatory system
The circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting diseases, stabilize temperature and pH, and maintain homeostasis.

Circumventricular organs
Circumventricular organs (CVOs) are structures in the brain characterized by their extensive vasculature and highly permeable capillaries unlike those in the rest of the brain where there exists a blood brain barrier (BBB).

Hypothalamus
The hypothalamus(from Greek ὑπό, "under" and θάλαμος, thalamus) is a portion of the brain that contains a number of small nuclei with a variety of functions.

Kidney
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs present in left and right sides of the body in vertebrates.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Kidney · See more »
Median eminence
The median eminence, part of the inferior boundary of the hypothalamus in the brain, is attached to the infundibulum.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Median eminence · See more »
Median preoptic nucleus
The median preoptic nucleus is located dorsal to the other three nuclei of the preoptic area of the anterior hypothalamus.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Median preoptic nucleus · See more »
Osmoreceptor
An osmoreceptor is a sensory receptor primarily found in the hypothalamus of most homeothermic organisms that detects changes in osmotic pressure.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Osmoreceptor · See more »
Osmotic pressure
Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of its pure solvent across a semipermeable membrane.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Osmotic pressure · See more »
Paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus
The paraventricular nucleus (PVN, PVA, or PVH) is a nucleus in the hypothalamus.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus · See more »
Positive feedback
Positive feedback is a process that occurs in a feedback loop in which the effects of a small disturbance on a system include an increase in the magnitude of the perturbation.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Positive feedback · See more »
Renin
Renin (etymology and pronunciation), also known as an angiotensinogenase, is an aspartic protease protein and enzyme secreted by the kidneys that participates in the body's renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS)—also known as the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone axis—that mediates the volume of extracellular fluid (blood plasma, lymph and interstitial fluid), and arterial vasoconstriction.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Renin · See more »
Sodium
Sodium is a chemical element with symbol Na (from Latin natrium) and atomic number 11.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Sodium · See more »
Subfornical organ
The subfornical organ (SFO), situated on the ventral surface of the fornix (the reasoning behind the organ's name), at the interventricular foramina (foramina of Monro), is one of the circumventricular organs of the brain, meaning that it is highly vascularized and does not have a blood-brain barrier, unlike the vast majority of regions in the brain.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Subfornical organ · See more »
Supraoptic nucleus
The supraoptic nucleus (SON) is a nucleus of magnocellular neurosecretory cells in the hypothalamus of the mammalian brain.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Supraoptic nucleus · See more »
Third ventricle
The third ventricle is one of four connected fluid-filled cavities comprising the ventricular system within the mammalian brain.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Third ventricle · See more »
Thirst
Thirst is the craving for fluids, resulting in the basic instinct of animals to drink.
New!!: Vascular organ of lamina terminalis and Thirst · See more »
Vasopressin
Vasopressin, also named antidiuretic hormone (ADH), arginine vasopressin (AVP) or argipressin, is a hormone synthesized as a peptide prohormone in neurons in the hypothalamus, and is converted to AVP.
