Circadian Clocks

Descriptor Spanish:

Relojes Circadianos

Spanish from Spain

Descriptor	relojes circadianos
Entry term(s)	reloj circadiano
Scope note:	Mecanismos biológicos que controlan el RITMO CIRCADIANO. La forma más simple de reloj circadiano se encuentra en las cianobacterias, y hay sistemas más complejos en hongos, plantas y animales. En el ser humano, el sistema incluye las CÉLULAS GANGLIONARES RETINIANAS que responden a la luz y el NÚCLEO SUPRAQUIASMÁTICO, que actúa como oscilador central.

RDF Unique Identifier:

https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D057906

Scope note:

Biological mechanism that controls CIRCADIAN RHYTHM. Circadian clocks exist in the simplest form in cyanobacteria and as more complex systems in fungi, plants, and animals. In humans the system includes photoresponsive RETINAL GANGLION CELLS and the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEUS that acts as the central oscillator.
