Descriptor núcleo solitario
Scope note: SUSTANCIA GRIS localizada en la parte dorsomedial del BULBO RAQUÍDEO, que está asociada con el tracto solitario. El núcleo solitario recibe estímulos de la mayoría de los sistemas orgánicos, incluidas las terminaciones de los nervios facial, glosofaríngeo y vago. Es un importante coordinador del SISTEMA NERVIOSO AUTÓNOMO en la regulación cardiovascular, respiratoria, gustativa, gastrointestinal, y en aspectos quimiorreceptores de la HOMEOSTASIS. El núcleo solitario también se distingue por la gran cantidad de NEUROTRANSMISORES que contiene.

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.
