Through its specialized morphology, sensitivity to angiotensin II, and strategic anatomical connections, the subfornical organ is intimately involved in the translation of peripheral thirst to behavioral and physiological actions for establishing body fluid homeostasis. Evidence identifying the subfornical organ as a "neuroendocrine transducer" is summarized in categories based on its structure-function relationships with systemic blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and its afferent and efferent neural connections.
通过其特殊的形态、对血管紧张素II的敏感性以及关键的解剖学联系，穹窿下器密切参与将外周口渴转化为行为和生理反应，以建立体液平衡。基于其与全身血液、脑脊液及其传入和传出神经联系的结构-功能关系，将确定穹窿下器为“神经内分泌转换器”的证据进行了分类总结。
