Damage to the renal medulla would interfere first with the functioning of what?
collecting ducts
Why would thermal stimulation increase an action potential?
By applying a thermal stimulation into the nerve, means you stimulate it. So with a thermal stimulation, you're already made a possibility to increase the Na+ flow faster.Because as heat, Na ions will move faster than room temperature. They move faster, cause the flow move faster, then the stimulate reach the threshold or even more than that.. causes the increased of action potential
What would happen if your medulla was removed?
I'm not sure if it's possible for you to technically break your medulla oblongata, but damage to that part of the lower portion of your brainstem could make it difficult for you to live...at least comfortably. I say this because the medulla oblongata is responsible, primarily, for controlling one's heart rate, among other autonomic functions (meaning functions that are formed involuntarily and without your conscious control). Other functions that would be affected by a medulla oblongata that was damaged would include one's respiration, reflexes, defecation, blood pressure, swallowing, etc, as the nerve signals between the brain and spinal cord would no longer be working.
Which endocrine organs would you expect to be relatively larger in humans than cats?
The endocrine organs you would expect to be relatively larger in humans than cats include the thymus and the adrenal glands. Adrenal glands are also known as suprarenal glands.
Damage to cells of the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex would result in?
Decreased ability to convert lipids to glucose
Increased vagal stimulation would cause?
"Increased vagal stimulation would cause..." The heart rate to decrease.
What is an Abnormal increase of epinephrine?
There are numerous causes, but one of the most "abnormal" would be a pheochromocytoma a neuroendocrine tumor of the medulla of the adrenal gland. That part of the adrenal gland is responsible for producing epinephrine, and the tumor often releases large amounts of epinephrine into the blood.
What are the side effects of having a adrenal gland tumor removed?
You may injure your adrenal glands which could cause you to have signs of fatigue. It would be best to supplement with raw adrenal in this case.
What does nodular thickening of the adrenal glands mean?
Nodular thickening of the adrenal gland means that cancer could be present. It would normally be treated by surgical removal of cancerous tumors.
Where would you find the medulla oblongata?
medulla oblongata is situated in the brain
What general function would be lost if the pyramids of the medulla were severed?
Which medulla?
Stimulation of which would cause an increase in heart rate and contraction strength?
beta 1 receptors
What would Direct stimulation of the motor cortex result in?
It would cause involuntary movement or a sense of touch on the person.
What are symptoms of damage to the medulla oblongata?
Symptoms of damage to the medulla oblongata is that the nerve signals between the spinal cord and the brain would no longer be working. The medulla helps to control vital functions of the brain such as breathing, blood pressure and regulating heart rate.
What would life be without adrenal glands?
Life would be nothing there's really nothing life would be without adrenal glands because really god created people such as( life) so to me i think life would live without adrenal glands;
What is an auditory stimalation?
Auditory stimulation is stimulation by sound. An example would be your reaction to someone sneaking up behind you and loudly clapping their hands. The stimulation would be the sound. Your reaction would probably be to become startled or jump.
Damage to which of these areas would most likely cause death optic chiasm medulla temporal cortex or prefrontal cortex?
Assuming the damage did not involve an infection, the medulla. The medulla controls autonomic functions like respiration and blood pressure, which you do not consciously control. As these functions are vital to staying alive, losing function of the medulla would most likely cause death. Damage to the optic chiasm could cause full or partial blindness, depending on the location of the damage. Damage to the temporal cortex could result in impairments in object perception as well as memory. Damage to the prefrontal cortex could result in impairments of executive functions, some examples of which include working memory (holding an item, like a phone number, in mind), decision making, and problem solving.
