Descriptor órganos circunventriculares
Entry term(s) órgano neurohemático
órgano neurohémico
órganos circunventriculares secretores
órganos circunventriculares sensoriales
Scope note: Tejidos especializados y altamente vascularizados, distribuidos principalmente a lo largo de la línea media del SISTEMA VENTRICULAR, desde el PROSENCÉFALO hasta el ROMBENCÉFALO. Se caracterizan por carecer de la normal BARRERA HEMATOENCEFÁLICA, disponer de capilares fenestrados y contener neuronas neurosecretoras o quimiorreceptores.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D066280
Scope note: Highly vascularized and specialized tissues distributed principally along the midline of the VENTRICULAR SYSTEM from the FOREBRAIN to the HINDBRAIN. They are distinguished by their lack of normal BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER and fenestrated capillaries and contain either neurosecretory neurons or chemoreceptors.
