What is an seizure that involves the entire body?
It is called a Grand Mal seizure. It is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It is characterized by violent muscle contractions and unconsciousness.
What are the parts of organs system affected in aphasia?
Aphasia is caused by brain damage: stroke, trauma, tumor or Alzheimer's. It is a brain problem. It doesn't involve loss of muscle control.
Is your brain the strongest muscle?
I would say yes, but I don't think the brain is a muscle. Your brain is a brain, nothing else really...it is what controls your muscles, so there's not really a way it could be a muscle itself. If you are wondering what your strongest muscle in your body is, it would probably be in your legs, because you use your legs all the time.
Drugs that act directly on the brain causing increased activity are?
stimulants are drugs that act directly on the brain causing increased activity.
Is the Golgi tendon tendon organ voluntary or involuntary?
To answer your question in brief, the Golgi tendon organ is an involuntary mechanism that serves to maintain muscle tension and prevent injury. They are groups of fibres that wrap around the tendon, and have type Ib receptors that relay activity back to your brain. Upon activation, they increase their activity, which forces the shut down of the muscle contraction in order to prevent tearing of the muscle from excessive activation.
What is an seizure that involves the entire body?
It is called a Grand Mal seizure. It is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It is characterized by violent muscle contractions and unconsciousness.
Can street drug withdrawal cause seizures similar to Grand mal epileptsy?
Epilepsy is caused by unusual electrical activity in the brain. Everyone has electrical activity in their brain, but if this is disrupted in any way, a seizure can occur. If someone who has been on drugs has done some damage to their brain, there is the potential for them to have seizures, so it can happen.
Is an epileptic fit due to a over load of electicity made by the body?
It is an unusual level of electrical activity in the brain. There is constant electrical activity in the brain. If it is disrupted or an extra amount of it happens it may affect the working of the brain temporarily and the result is a seizure.
What is an epileptic fit?
An epileptic seizure is usually caused by some electrical activity in the brain. We all have electrical activity in the brain. If there is an excessive amount, this can cause an epileptic seizure. This can cause the person not to feel well, possibly lose conciousness, and have unusual physical activity because their brain is not working properly. Some physical activity could be very minor, like small movements or could be much larger like physical jolting of parts of the body. A seizure will usually not last very long and the person will soon return to normal.
What is seizure in human brain?
In everyone's brain there is constant electrical activity happening. A seizure is caused when there is an abnormal pattern or disruption in this activity. You could almost say it is like an electrical storm in the brain. There are many reasons for this.
What are biopotential?
Eletric activities produced by a tissue of the body, such as in a muscle contraction, a heartbeat or even a brain activity.
Can weight play apart in epilepsy?
No. Epilepsy is due to unusual electrical activity in the brain. Everyone has electrical activity in their brain, but someone with epilepsy will occasionally have slight disruptions to it or slightly extra amounts of it. So that has nothing to do with how heavy or light someone is.
What effect does creatine phosphokinase have on muscle activity?
Creatine phosphokinase is found in the muscles of the skeletal system as well as the heart and brain. It can effect muscle activity by impairing the muscles from doing the job they are supposed to and adversely affecting the human body.
What part of the brain coordinates muscle activity?
The primary motor cortex, located in the precentral gyrus, controls most voluntary muscle activity in the body. That said, there are many other parts of the brain involved in muscular coordination. The stimulus originates in the precentral gyrus, but the cerebellum also adds input to make movement smooth and to coordinate body position, the spinal cord and basic reflex are involved in telling the brain how much stretch is placed on the muscle, so as not to tear the muscle or cause injury, etc.
What has the author Leonard Erskine Hill written?
Leonard Erskine Hill has written: 'The exchange of blood gases in brain and muscle during states of rest and activity' -- subject(s): Blood gases, Experiments 'On the exchange of blood-gases in brain and muscle during states of rest and activity' -- subject(s): Blood gases, Experiments
How is your brain like your muscle?
Your brain is meat so it is a muscle.
When a person has epilepsy what physical ailment occurs in the body?
A person with epilepsy has seizures which are caused by irregular electrical activity in the brain.
