Why do you lose your taste buds when your in a car accident?
If a scull fracture results in damage to nerves that help transmit the signals for taste, taste will be affected. Even damage to the smell cranial nerves will affect the sensation of taste.
What PNS neuroglia help to form myelin sheaths around larger nerve fibers in the PNS?
In the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cells are responsible for forming myelin sheaths around the larger nerve fibres in the PNS. Keep in mind that one Schwann cell myelinates one nerve. You may hear about oligodendrocytes, but these are responsible for myelination in the Central Nervous System, and myelinate multiple nerves.
Do tendon sheaths act as a friction-reducing structures?
Yes, tendon sheaths do act as friction reducing structures within the body. Tendon sheaths generally are found in areas where the tendons are constantly under pressure do to motion.
What are receptors that detect tissue damage?
nerves
Is adrenaline and noradrenaline the same?
No adrenaline and noradrenaline are NOT the same.
What features of nerves improve impulse conduction velocity?
myelin sheaths
Why does the heart pumps when the person is scared?
We have sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. When we are fightened or scared, sympathetic nerves trigger impulse into the brain in order to release adrenaline. This adrenaline makes the heart beat faster because more oxygen is required. This helps us cope from stress.After a while parasympathetic nerves send impulse to reduce the release of adrenaline and the heart starts beating normally
How is a schwann cell similar to an oligodendrocyte?
Oligodendrocytes are glial cells that function in the CNS--the brain and spine. They provide insulation (myelin sheaths) in several locations, possibly multiple neurons. Meanwhile, schwann cells are glial cells that function in the PNS--peripheral nervous system, everything outside the brain and spine. Individually, they wrap around axons of nerves, forming individual segments of myelin sheaths. They, unlike oligodendrocytes, can guide repairs to damaged axons. Damage to the nerves in the brain are not so easily remedied.
What exsactly is that flutter feeling you get when you see your crush?
i think it's nerves, adrenaline, and excitement. that feeling you hate to love
What effect does adrenaline have on gut smooth muscle?
It makes the muscle totally relax as it blocks the action potential in the nerves.
What the receptors that detect tissue damage?
nerves
What cranial nerve covers meninges?
The Optic Nerve (one of the Cranial Nerves) is enclosed by three sheaths that are continuous with the three layers of cranial meninges (dura, arachnoid, and pia). The central artery and vein of the retina pass through these meningeal sheaths and are included in the distal part of the optic nerve.
What are the two neurohormones found in sympathetic or adrenergic nerves?
Epinephrine or adrenaline, and non epinephrine or noradrenaline.
Which of the parts of the ear is unable to recover from damage?
The hearing nerves are unable to recover from damage.
What is the plural of sheath?
The plural of sheath is sheaths. As in "the knight sheaths his sword".
What is saccular dilatation of the nerve root sheaths mean?
Saccular dilatation of the nerve root sheaths refers to the enlargement of the protective coverings surrounding nerves in the spinal cord, often due to inflammation or other underlying conditions. This can potentially compress or irritate the nerves, leading to symptoms such as pain, weakness, or sensory changes in the affected areas. Treatment may involve addressing the underlying cause and managing symptoms with medications or other interventions.
What is the acute bacterial infection whose toxins can damage the heart muscle and peripheral nerves?
the acute bacterial infection whose toxins can damage the heart muscle and peripheral nerves is what
