Increased vagal stimulation would cause?
"Increased vagal stimulation would cause..." The heart rate to decrease.
Sphincter controlling the movement of food from the stomach into the duodenum?
Pyloric sphincter controls the movement of food from stomach to duodenum. With parasympathetic or vagal stimulation it opens up or relaxes and with sympathetic stimulation it contracts or closes.
What is Severe Vasal Vagal Syndrome?
Vasovagal syndrome is a condition that causes fainting. When something triggers this, your blood pressure and heart rate drop. This causes loss of consciousness. The most dangerous aspect of this condition is that you may fall when fainting.
Are hormones from the adrenal medulla released in response to vagal stimulation?
Yes, the Adrenal glands secrete epinephrine (adrenaline) into the blood stream when the brain detects a threat. This gives the muscles an added boost to their strength. The brain determines if it will run away or fight whatever the threat is, thus the saying, 'fight or flight'.
What causes vasal vagal?
Vazal Vagla Syncope is a very frustrating yet coming problem. Most people experience this under situation of bloos donation etc. This was explained to me as the flight or fight trigger in your brain doesn't do either, it just freezes and this makes you stop breathing. Consiquentally this causes your blood to rush back to your heart and you experience syncope which is comonally known as a fainting spell. The best thing to do is as soon as you feel this happening lay flat on your back with legs propped up. I personally have severe vazal vagal with many triggers ranging from hunger, to sleepness, and discussions of injuries. I have learned to use the technics of breathing taught for labor to calm my brain and re-train it to react differently to these triggers. I hvae gone from passing out almost daily to now it is only when two or more triggers are happening to me at one time. I have also foudn that stress is a major factor in my ability to keep myself from passing out, the more stressed I am the harder it is to calm myself. If dealing with someone with this disorder I highly suggest that you watch them closely, when I first started this at age 8 I was unable to control the natural urge to get away from everyone and therefor when passing out I had way more injuries to my head and limbs when falling. The other problem is that if they do pass out they need to continue to lay down for awhile, the heart has to get use to workign normally or they will pass out again when they stand or sit up. The person will experience hot and cold flashes, sleepyness, and most seem to get quite grumpy shortly before getting the syncope symptoms. Hope this helps someone new to this disorder, I have dealth with this for 18 years now and there are few answer and few suggestions on what you can do to help yourself other then depression pills. misspelled - this should be "Vasovagal"

How is excessive vagal stimulation be reflected in a routine physical examination when caused by severe depression?
Excessive vagal stimulation can be caused by sever depression. The impact on this nerve cannot be detected in a routine physical examination. This must be diagnosed through use of an MRI.
What causes vagal escape?
when cardiac muscle begins to contract after a brief period of rest after vagal stimulation its initial strength of contraction increases to a plateau by staircase effect strong vagal stimulation of heart can stop heart beat for few seconds
What happens to the heart rate with vagal stimulation?
Your heart is able to independently contract without nerve stimulation. However, frequency of these contractions if the heart was not innervated at all would roughly be 100 beats per minute. A resting individual does not need his or her heart to beat that fast to adequately supply blood to the rest of the body. So when at rest the vagus nerve (the branch innervating the heart) kicks in and slows these contractions down so as not to waste energy.
Excessive vagal stimulation can de caused by severe depression how would this reflect in a routine physical exam?
Low heart rate would be the most obvious sign
What is the effect of pilocarpine on heart rate?
Pilocarpine stimulates the release of acetylcholine from parasympathetic neurons. Therefore, it stimulates the effect of vagal stimulation on the heart.
What is the purpose of vagal nerve stimulation?
Vagal nerve stimulation is an alternative to medication or surgical removal of brain tissue in controlling epileptic seizures.
What is vagal nerve stimulation?
Vagal nerve stimulation is a treatment for epilepsy in which an electrode is implanted in the neck to deliver electrical impulses to the vagus nerve.
What success rate does vagal nerve stimulation have?
Approximately half of all patients who have received vagal nerve stimulation experience about a 50% reduction in seizures. Another 9% of patients obtain complete relief from seizures.
What does vagal nerve stimulation do?
The vagal nerve stimulator has two parts: an electrode that wraps around the left vagus nerve in the neck; and a pulse generator, which is implanted under the skin below the collarbone. The two parts are connected by a wire.
What nerve conveys parasympathetic signals to the heart?
Vagal
What is the golden bough in the underworld?
The Vagus nerve. Vagal stimulation brings you into a perinatal matrix. Read books by Stan Grof.
