as the menstrual cycle or hibernation. The research into these rhythms offers an insight into how the body is influenced by exogenous zeitgebers and endogenous pacemakers‚ but it is still nonetheless unclear what it more influential. An example of circadian rhythms is the sleep-wake cycle that evidence suggests that exogenous pacemakers control it. For example‚ the theory is that the suprachiasmatic nucleus has an involvement in controlling the sleep-wake cycle. Ralph et al investigated how the

Endogenous pacemakers and exogenous zeitgebers are used to control biological rhythms. Biological rhythms are controlled by environmental factors such as light‚ temperature and food availability; these are known as exogenous (external) zeitgebers. However biological organisms are complex systems‚ where many different processes are taking place. This means that it would be useful to have something which would co-ordinate these processes‚ keeping everything in time – an endogenous pacemaker. This is
