| HHHO | hypotonia, hypomentia, hypogonadism, obesity [syndrome] |
|---|---|
| HPA axis | Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal axis |
| AHA | acetohydroxamic acid; acquired hemolytic anemia; acute hemolytic anemia; American Heart Association;... |
| AHPO | anterior hypothalamic preoptic [area] |
| CHHS | congenital hypothalamic hamartoma syndrome |
| hypothalamic | Of or involving the hypothalamus. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| hypothalamic amenorrhoea | Secondary amenorrhoea arising from defective hypothalamic stimulation of the anterior lobe of the hypophysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypothalamic area, anterior | Loose heterogeneous collection of cells in the anterior hypothalamus, continuous rostrally with the medial and lateral preoptic areas and caudally with the tuber cinereum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypothalamic area, lateral | An area in the middle hypothalamus continuous rostrally with the lateral preoptic area and caudally with the tegmentum mesencephali. It contains the tuberomammillary and lateral tuberal nuclei. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypothalamic histiocytoma | <radiology> Parasellar tumour, may not be able to differentiate from: suprasellar (optic nerve/chiasm) glioma, teratoma, kids with tumour usually have, diabetes insipidus, skeletal lesions of histiocytosis (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypothalamic hormones | Hormones isolated from the hypothalamus which exercise control over other organs, primarily the pituitary gland. Well-known members include certain pituitary hormone-releasing hormones and pituitary hormone release inhibiting hormones. Vasopressin and oxytocin which are found in the posterior pituitary may also be secreted by the hypothalamus but are not grouped here (pituitary hormones, posterior). (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypothalamic infundibulum | The apical portion of the tuber cinereum extending into the stalk of the hypophysis. Synonym: infundibulum hypothalami. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypothalamic neoplasms | Neoplasms located in the hypothalamus including the anterior, medial, and posterior portions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypothalamic sulcus | A groove in the lateral wall of the third ventricle on either side leading from the interventricular foramen to the aditus ad aqueductum cerebri; the sulcus-demarcated boundary between dorsal thalamus and hypothalamus. Synonym: sulcus hypothalamicus, Monro's sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal hypothalamic region | The portion of the hypothalamus located immediately ventral to the hypothalamic sulcus; contains small nuclei, some of which are associated with the ansa lenticularis and the entopeduncular nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus | An aggregation of cells in the middle hypothalamus dorsal to the ventromedial nucleus and bordering the third ventricle. (12 Dec 1998) |
| intermediate hypothalamic region | The infundibular portion of the hypothalamus, includes the medial tuberal nuclei and portions of the dorsomedial, ventromedial, arcuate (infundibular), posterior and lateral hypothalamic nuclei; located internally in the general area of the infundibulum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral hypothalamic area | Extends throughout most of the rostrocaudal extent of the hypothalamus lateral to the column of the fornix; includes lateral tuberal nuclei, tuberomamillary nuclei, and diffuse populations of cells. Synonym: lateral hypothalamic area. (05 Mar 2000) |
