Abstract
The hypothalamus together with a group of highly heterogeneous structures referred to as the limbic system, are key neuronal elements involved in maintaining homeostatis (Saper, 1990). The hypothalamus is closely involved in a wide variety of behavioral, autonomic, visceral, and endocrine functions. However, the hypothalamus is the least well understood area of the hypothalamo-pituitary axis. Hence, the present study on histology and micrometry of the supraoptic nucleus in Madras Red sheep was carried out.
