Health Body Clock

Health Body Clock

Your body has a built-in clock!

Central circadian clock located in the #suprachiasmatic nuclei (#SCN) of the #hypothalamus because the phasing of the pineal#melatonin rhythm, which is driven by the SCN, correlates with the sleep timing preference.
In addition to the SCN, circadian #oscillators are also present in most if not all bodily cells.

At the molecular level, the circadian oscillations are based on a complex, self-sustaining mechanism that drives the rhythmical expression of clock genes and their proteins

Every organ in your body has a repair/maintenance schedule to keep on a daily basis.
