MeSH Heading: Solitary Nucleus
Tree Number(s): A08.186.211.132.810.591.500.750
Unique ID: D017552
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017552
Scope Note: GRAY MATTER located in the dorsomedial part of the MEDULLA OBLONGATA associated with the solitary tract. The solitary nucleus receives inputs from most organ systems including the terminations of the facial, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves. It is a major coordinator of AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM regulation of cardiovascular, respiratory, gustatory, gastrointestinal, and chemoreceptive aspects of HOMEOSTASIS. The solitary nucleus is also notable for the large number of NEUROTRANSMITTERS which are found therein.
