Does the vagus nerve control vomiting?

Yes, the vagus nerve plays a role in controlling the process of vomiting. It sends signals to the brain to trigger the reflex response of vomiting when necessary.


Which cranial nerve in responsible for the reflex constriction of the pupil in response to light and accomodation?

The oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III) is responsible for the reflex constriction of the pupil in response to light and accommodation.


An automatic nerve response?

The automatic nerve response is from the system which controls the involuntary autonomous functions of the body. Breathing and heart beats are examples of these.

What does the reflex response when the object coming near the eye?

This is the menace response, in which the eye perceives an object traveling towards it and the eyelids are slammed shut. The nerve relay is cranial nerve II (optic nerve), optic chiasma, visual cortex, cranial nerve V (trigeminal nerve).


What cranial nerve controls the response of the illuminated eye?

If the light is shining directly into one eye, then the pupil in that eye will constrict (a direct response), but so will the pupil in the non-illuminated eye (a consensual response). This reflex involves two cranial nerves: the optic nerve, which senses the light, and the oculomotor nerve, which constricts both pupils.


Muscle fibers contract and relax in response to what?

nerve impulses


Why curare reduces the response to nerve stimulation?

Curare reduces the response to nerve stimulation because it acts as a neuro-muscular blocking agent, or muscle relaxant. It is also known as tubocurarine.


Why does my EMG show No Response in my Peripheral Nerve?

An EMG showing no response in a peripheral nerve can indicate several issues, such as nerve damage, neuropathy, or a complete nerve block. It may also suggest that the nerve is not transmitting impulses due to conditions like entrapment or inflammation. Additionally, improper electrode placement or equipment malfunction could contribute to the absence of response. Consulting a healthcare professional is essential for a comprehensive interpretation and appropriate follow-up.


Why does the frog sciatic nerve give a graded response?

The frog schiatic nerve gives a graded response because the nerve is a bundle of axons and not a single axon (thus it does not show the all or none response of an axon-either generating an action potential or not). If one axon is generating an action potential then a small nerve impulse is witnessed, if all axons are simultaneously generating action potentials then a large nerve impulse is witnessed. Thus the nerve impulse is graded (it can be none, small, medium, large, larger, maximal).


Does the addition of ether to the nerve cause any permanent alteration on neural response?

No, it has no lasting effect because it impairs the ability of nerve fibers to function (blocks nerve transmission).
