Question

difference between thalamous and hypothalamous​

Answer 1

Hey mate.,...

Differentiate between: Thalamus and Hypothalamus.

Thalamus:-

It is cone shaped

It is located in the middle of the central core of Brain

Thalamus receives nerve impulse of the pain, temperature, touch etc,. and conducts them to the cerebral hemisphere.

Hypothalamus:-

It is bi-lobed, one located in each hemisphere.

It is located slightly below the thalamus.

Hope it will help you.

Answer 2

Heyaaaa mate

Here is your answer:-

While the thalamus is located almost directly in the center of the brain, the hypothalamus is located beneath it (which is how it got its name), so their locations are different, although not by very much.

The thalamus consists of two bulbs for each brain hemisphere, each around 6cm in diameter. On the other hand, the hypothalamus consists of a large number of very small bulbs called nuclei, and in total is the size of an almond. This means that the thalamus is larger than the hypothalamus and has a different structure.

The thalamus regulates sleep, alertness and wakefulness, whereas the hypothalamus regulates body temperature, hunger, fatigue and metabolic processes in general.

Although both thalamus and hypothalamus serve as “bridges”, they connect different pairs of things. While the thalamus connects the cerebral cortex with the midbrain, the hypothalamus connects the nervous system in general with the endocrine system. This makes another distinction between the two – the thalamus is a part of only the nervous system, while the hypothalamus can be regarded as both part of the nervous and endocrine system, since it plays an important role in both.
