Neuronal regulation (e.g., of the cardiovascular system);
what is the point?
• CV system regulates quite well with no neuronal input. Heart beat regulated by intrinsic pacemakers and arteriolar constriction regulated by local agents and circulating hormones.
• At rest that is fine, but when the organism is challenged, then there is a need to alter overall CV output and local circulation.

Parallel pathways regulate arterial pressure, but their time constants are very different.
![Page 5: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Blood volume
• Intake – output.
• Regulated by Aldosterone, Angiotensin, Atrial Natriuretic Peptide, Vasopressin, etc.
• Kidney main organ regulating volume homeostasis.
![Page 6: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
It’s the flow that is important
Regional blood flow is important and acute changes in it are largely regulated by the nervous system.
![Page 7: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What are the ultimate neuronal controls of blood flow
• Sympathetic nervous system (NE+)
• Parasympathetic nervous system (Ach+)
• Circulating hormones
• Locally released hormones
• Local neuronal and glial regulation in the brain
![Page 8: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Feedback control of nervous system regulation of CV system
• Baroreflexes• Chemoreceptors• O2/CO2 receptors• Pain• exercise• Stretch• Heat• Nutrition
![Page 9: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Baroreflexes
High pressure receptors in the aorta and carotid artery
Low pressure (cardiopulmonary receptors) atria
![Page 10: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Both the IX and X nerves carry baroreceptor information to the brain. Other baroreceptors located throughout the body organs, but their influence is less global.
![Page 11: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Variability of AP control without baroreceptor feedback.
![Page 12: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Chemoreceptors
• Especially sensitive to O2 and CO2
![Page 13: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
CNS regulated neurohormones in CV control
![Page 15: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SNS activates renin release in the kidney
• Renin in the circulation converts anagiotensinogen to A I and ACE converts AI to vasoactive AII.
• Also regulated by plasma ions (esp. NaCl)
• Local AII system in brain and kidney and heart.
![Page 16: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Renin-Angoiotensin/nervous system interplay
promotes vasoconstriction via
• Directly acting through AT1 receptors on arterioles
• Increasing presynaptic release of NE from sympathetic nerves
• Blunting baroreflex restraint
• Activating circumventricular organs, esp. SFO and AP to increase SNS activity and drinking and regulates vasopressin
![Page 17: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Vasopressin(AntiDiuretic Hormone; ADH)
• Released into the circulation by neurons in the hypothalamus
• Circulating AVP elicits vasoconstriction via V1 receptors and induces antidiuresis via v2 receptors in the kidney
• Also alters baroreflex and tonic control of SNS activity by direct release from neurons and circulating AVP diffusing to neurons
![Page 18: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CNS controls Norepinephrine (NE) & Epinephrine (Epi) release, but these
catecholamines have different actions
• Beta-adrenergic receptors have much higher affinity for Epi << NE, while alpha-AR have the opposite affinity.
• Beta-AR (vasodilatory) numerous on heart and arterioles in heart and skeletal muscle
• Alpha-AR much more prominent on peripheral arterioles and vasoconstrict.
• Stimulation of adrenal medulla increases heart and skeletal muscle related vasodilation and HR.
![Page 19: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Unlike an injection of NE which raises BP and HR via alpha1-AR equally, epinephrine injections act primarily on beta-AR increasing HR/contractility and thereby increasing CO. BF is increased to the skeletal muscle heart and brain but decreased to the kidney and skin. TPR is reduced as reflected in decrease in diastolic pressure. Increase in CO reflected in increased systolic arterial pressure.

Rostral Ventral Lateral Medulla (RVLM)
• RVLM generates sympathetic tone.
• Appears that the RVLM vasomotor neurons are final integrators of a large amount of information relative to CV control.
![Page 24: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Sensory regulation of RVLM via nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS)
• Both high and low pressure baroreceptor feedback to the brain synapses in the NTS
• Gustatory and other inputs also reach NTS in discrete regions
• The NTS has widespread projections to forebrain and medulla
![Page 25: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Sympathoinhibitory nuclei
• Warm receptors– Activation leads to inhibition of SNS
• Sweating• Vasodilaiton• Pyrogens bind here and allow fever to continue
by changing setpoint• Renal excretion

![Page 33: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Circadian rhythm
• Suprachiasmatic nucleus– Sets rhythm of AP/HR– Daily blood pressure rhythm can be over
30 mmHg and reduction in nighttime dip is sign if potential organ damage
– Normal rhythm is slightly over 24 hours, but this is entrained by light to the eye
– Interesting regulation via sympathetic innervation of pineal gland, thereby releasing melatonin

Interactions of neuropeptides and other transmitters in autonomic control
![Page 46: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Natriuretic peptide family
• ANP causes inhibition of NE release in CNS and PNS (i.e. it acts opposite of AII).
• In PNS cause reduction in AP and increased diuresis/natriuresis
• In hypothalamus it causes the opposite effects.
• Regional distribution of ANP and receptors underlie this effect. ANP inhibition of NE throughout the hypothalamus causes differential effects.
![Page 47: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Beer Stories
• Drink beer; lots of beer fast
• About 30 minutes later need to urinate badly
• Why??
• What happens if you keep drinking?
![Page 49: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Beer Potomania
• Potomania: An intense and persistent desire to drink alcohol to excess.
• Dilutional hyponatraemia
• Pass out/death
![Page 50: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Why?
• Decrease ADH (vasopressin) as much as possible in first hour
• Continue ingestion of fluid low in solutes and lack of protein intake
• Decrease in plasma Na and osmolality
• Kidneys can only excrete limited load
![Page 51: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Young individual can excrete up to 25 L/day about 1.2 L/hour, but when intake is increased above that level dilution will occur first in vascular space and then in
extracellular and intracellular space.
![Page 52: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Result:
• intracellular dilution and dysfunction of neurons and muscle.

VIII. Enteric Nervous System
Approximately 108 neurons = all spinal cord neurons
Regulate peristalsis in gut
While parasympathetic input accelerates parastalsis, sympathetic input inhibits it
The system is truly peripheral with only CNS regulation of speed
![Page 54: Neuroendocrine function and Hypothalamic control](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56814726550346895db460af/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Summary Points• The hypothalamus regulates the autonomic
nervous system and neuroendocrine system• The anterior parts of the hypothalamus increase
parasypathetic responses while the posterior areas tend to activate sympathetic responses.
• The paraventricular nucleus directly releases neurohormones into the blood
• Other hypothalamic sites release hormone releasing/inhibiting substances that circulate to the anterior lobe of the pituitary and other sites to release/inhibit the active circulating hormone.
• Autonomic control is regulated by the joint actions of the nervous system and circulating hormones
