What are the chemical and physical protections offered by the skin?
the skin protects us from mechanical damage, chemical damage, bacterial damage, ultraviolet radiation, thermal, and desiccation.
Is brain stimulation important?
What do you mean by brain stimulation?
What is the stimuli of nose?
Olfactory stimulation an aspect of perceptual stimulation and is achieved by stimulation of the olfactory system.**************************An odour will produce olfactory stimulation [olfactory refers to the sense of smell]
What is Electrical nerve stimulation also called?
Electrical nerve stimulation is also called transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
Is Electrical stimulation of the brain effective?
Electrical stimulation of the brain, or deep brain stimulation, is effective in treating tremor in up to 88% of Parkinson disease patients
Where is the mechanical stimulation of sound converted into a nerve impulse?
In The Hair cells.
Explain the mechanism by which mechanical stimulation of the skin produces a flare?
As found on Page 504 of the Pearson Human Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Manual 9th edition.The redness or flare observed after mechanical stimulation of the skin results from a local inflammatory response promoted by chemical mediators released by injured tissues.These mediators stimulate increased blood flow into the area and leaking of fluid (from the capillaries) into the local tissues.Note about an extremely sensitive skin condition:Dermatographism: a condition in which the direct line of stimulation will swell quite obviously is called a "wheal".
Which sensation arise from stimulation of neurons in the skin?
Cutaneous Sensations
The epidermis provides mechanical strength to the skin?
The epidermis does indeed provide mechanical strength to the skin. The epidermis also acts as a layer that protects the body.
What does the medical abbreviation TENS stand for?
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, it is electrical stimulation of the skin to relieve pain by interfering with the neural transmission of signals.
What is cerebral electrical stimulation?
cerebral electrical stimulation(CES).is a modification of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). a low voltage signal applied to the body through the skin with the goal of replacing painful impressions with a massage-like sensation.
What is meant by mechanical deformation?
You can show yourself mechanical deformation. Poke your finger into your thigh really hard. See how the shape of your skin changes? That is "mechanical deformation." It just means changing the shape of skin through pressure.
Is a sound wave inside an electron and a neutron?
No. There is no sound wave below the atomic or molecular level. A sound wave is mechanical energy that is the result of the stimulation of groups of atoms or molecules. Sound cannot travel unless it can impart mechanical energy into the medium through which it is going to travel. And the atoms and/or molecules of a medium react to the mechanical stimulation and create and provide a medium of travel for the energy. Sound can move from one medium to another, as you might have guessed.
What provides mechanical strength to the skin?
Dermis
The area of the skin where stimulation generates action potentials in a particular sensory neuron is called that neuron's?
receptive field
Where are mechanical receptors in the body located?
They are mainly located in the glabrous skin. Glabrous skin that does not grow hair. It is what you have on the palms of your hands, the soles of your feet, and a few other areas.
What is a closema?
I think you mean Chloasma? It is pigmentation of the skin seen mostly in women, but sometimes in men. It is usually seen in pregnancy or women on contraceptive pills or HRT. It is due to stimulation of melanocytes to produce more melanin on exposed skin and is due to stimulation from the female sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone
