Why does plyometrics work?
Plyometrics has 4 benefits to the trainee that aid in sports specific performance:1. The myostatic stretch reflex is "reinforced" by plyometric drills. When a muscle/tendon structure is stretched the body contracts the muscle in response. Before a movement such as a vertical jump, a counter movement is first performed which induces a stretch reflex and allows the muscles to move with greater power.2. Tendon stiffness/ elasticity is improved. Greater tendon stiffness is accomplished as the protein structure of the tendons is strengthened. This allows power from the muscles to more effectively be transferred from the ground, through the athlete.3. Strength is improved as the muscles overcome body weight and gravity at high speeds. Note that while strength is improved, it is better to supplement plyometrics with a strength training program where strength levels can be maximized.4. Movement efficiency is improved. Performing the skill in a plyometric fashion should mimic the skill you perform in your particular sport. Repeition at very high speeds increase the neural efficiency of the movement and "greases" the groove, allow you to use more of the strength that you already have.
Was adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog episode 66 was a creepypasta?
Seriously,that creepypasta is REAL if you realy know that. Here is all story:Can anyone help me out here? I'm looking for a lost episode of the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.I'm sure some of you remember, if you're from the northern part of Virginia, and watched The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog you may have seen this. Some back story first, I saw this when I was eight when I first recall seeing this episode, the number of the said episode 66 of season one (there was only one season) and was only aired in northern Virginia as the broadcasting station had ignored the notice not to play the final episode of the bundle due to its extreme adult content. This was the stations choice as it had purchased the syndication rights in its area but was later sued by concerned parents after several children were diagnosed of light neural hemorrhaging causing severe nightmares and vomiting. Nobody was killed by viewing this episode and older viewers seemed immune to the effects of whatever caused the bleeding, but needless to say a freeze was put on the production of the series and was hushed up on the news, the show was replaced by the series named simply Sonic the Hedgehog.I started my search for the episode after the nightmares from watching the show returned after 16 years. The nightmare was vivid, it contained vision of people in a long line all of them clutching their faces in despair. The people in this line spread the full length of the street and had seemingly abandoned their cars (leaving the doors open) to join the others waiting. Everyone was deathly thin, naked and when they spoke they did so in what sounded like reverse tongues but not much was said in between the helpless sobs. Everything had a dark red tone to it, like the sun was burning out at sunset but never fully went down. Those that where not in the line littered the street, dead. I can't recall much from the dream other than that, some other details hinted at looting, things like a line of dead riot police and smashed windows, upturned cars and even a collapsed skyscraper in the distance but those in the line payed no attention to this, they simply sobbed as the line shifted forward. The nightmare ends with one of the members of the line looking directly at me, he says nothing but shifts to an unnatural pose, his arms bent at 45 degree angles and his legs spread into a box over the ground, his mouth agape as he did this the rest of the people in the line did the same, striking a slightly different twisted pose all looking at me. I then awoke with tears in my eyes.My first logical step to finding this lost episode was the station which originally aired it. There is nothing odd about the station, it's old management has long since moved on, committed suicide as the new manager pointed out to me. Over a cup of coffee me and the new manager discussed the stations past I intentionally eased into the subject lost episode and as it turned out i was right to do so. When I brought up the subject John (is he will now be known), the manager literally spilled his coffee on his lap. He told me that this subject was a personal one to him and as it turns out John was the original owners son. He was kind enough to explain to me that the legal fees he was receiving in conjunction with the mail he was receiving from children and parents alike had pushed him too far and he hung himself in the family kitchen. I was a little taken back by this news so I figured maybe I was digging too deep and decided to drop this madness and just call it a day, but before I could exit John's office he told me that he would send me the mail, his reasoning… That he wanted me to know what happened, his curiosity was almost as deep as mine, not surprising considering this episode killed his father. So I told him I'll take a look deeper into the subject and get back to him on anything I dig up.The letters where as you would expect, angry mothers asking what kind of station would air this filth, legal fees ranging in the hundreds of thousands of dollars (enough to send any station broke in the 90′s) and of course drawing's from children depicting scenes from the episode. Distinct things like the blood and the unusually dull colors that persisted throughout the episode. Horrible things, things like Robotnik vomiting blood and tails crying over the corpse of a feathered headless bird. But one letter caught my attention specifically, it was a letter from the studio which produced the series: "Thank you for purchasing the rights to air Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Sega 1993-1994 all rights reserved, enclosed is the series list, episode descriptions, Episodes 1-66 the entirety of season 1 and legal information regarding ratings and air times." In poor hand writing, at the bottom of the page a scrawled note was placed with the words "Episode 66 is not to be aired! This is a database error and contains corrupted material". The initials JS followed. I set out to find this episode, but to no avail. My second plan was to ask the people who sent the angry letters about the episode about their take on it. Those who had not moved away since then gave me canned "I don't know" or "Not this again" responses but I did chance upon one man, around my age who remembers and taped the episode he invited me in and showed me his VHS copy of the episode, it was badly decayed from years of neglect in his garage though and the only bits I could make out was Tails screaming at Sonic, with tears in his eyes "How could you Sonic? What have you done!?"and the rest of the episode on the tape was just static, the occasional scream and twisted figures, not animals or people but figures staring at viewer, their circular mouths and open black eyes emitting a slight screech. The tape sent chills up out spine and I asked if I could take the tape for research I was doing into the episode he agreed quite readily and I promised to keep him updated, as well as John.I took the tape back to John and we watched it up to about 15 minutes where John just jumped back in his seat. He told me he saw the figure with black eyes, but it spoke for brief moment, John claimed that its lips moved, mouthing the word he thought was "eternity" we watched that same one second flash for what must have been thirty times and each time we both attempted to freeze the frame on the figure only to have it disappear when we did so. I called it a day there, we needed a better copy of this episode if we where to find out why this episode ended the entire series and caused me nightmares for much of my childhood.Short of traveling to France and talking to the animation studio, I gave them a call. They bluntly told me that there was no episode 66 and that 65 was the full season. Knowing this dead end I called again for another phone and asked for the contact information of the voice actors. All of the information was out of date it seemed, the actors for Robotnik, Scratch, Grounder and sonic all giving me "Number not in service" errors however I did manage to contact Christopher Evan Welch (The voice of tails) and hook him for a fake interview about his roles in 90′s Television. Chris turned up as you would expect, casual clothing smile on his face, your average guy in his late 20′s. As he sat down I asked about some of his roles in bands and television and worked my way to Sonic. When I did get there however he got really quite, and evasive. I asked him specifically about episode 66 and halfway through taking a breath he just stopped. His pupils almost retracted into nothing and he looked at me and told me that the episodes only go up to 65. Of course I knew better and asked him about his script talking to sonic and what he had done. He grabbed his face, not in frustration but to wipe back his eyes which were begging to well up. He took a deep breath and told me the episode was written by Jeffrey Scott, he told me the usual that he was always a nice man and was very patient with him as he read the script (Being 11 at the time) but as the first season drew to a close Jeffrey had become very angry with everyone, including 11 year old Chris. The voice actor for Robotnik and Sonic threatened to quit over his behavior but the executive producer paid them both large sums of cash in hand right there to read from the script Jeffrey had written. Apparently Jeffrey had an order from high up, the top of Sega or as far as Chris knew at the time to produce this episode, listed as a business priority.Chris explained to me how as they read the script he felt great sorrow and terror, as if they had lost a close friend of family member or had seen them die before them, he told me of the scarring to his vocal chords from the screaming that was invoked by reading the script he told me of the blood that leaked from the mouths of the actors of Robotnik and Sonic. The session ended with the security pulling the actors from the studio before they died in the process of recording from blood loss. His mother pulled him from the show the next day, fearing for his safety. I stopped the interview there, I asked for a copy of the episode but a copy was never sent back to the actors.That is as far as I have come in the Search for episode 66 I've heard that there may be a copy in the studio in France but I have no way of getting their on my budget. But I know it exists and I know many more out there must have a VHS copy, so this is why I ask the Internet. Help me in my search.
Who would win in a fight gambit or wolverine?
Wolverine vs. Hulk - Wolverine has defeated Hulk numerous times. Wolverine defeated Hulk for a 5th time in the Canadian Rockies when the Green and Grey Hulk attacked him. Wolverine was smashed through four rock quarries but eventually came to and slashed both Hulk's sides open. Once they were in a state to heal giving chase to Logan - he double backed on the monsters and slit their Achilles heels, dropping them to their feet - where he slit their throats and started taking green brain chunks out of both of them. Logan felt bad enough where he took the Banner twins to the nearby Alberta Hospital.Reconstructive surgery was needed for both Hulks' faces! Wolverine vs. Juggernaut - Juggernaut beat the crap out of Wolvie, but Wolverine finally popped the top off Caine Marko's helmet. The god of Cytorrek did little to deter Woverine. He stabbed Juggernaut so many times, his brain healed incorrectly - and when it did he became mentally handicapped until Professor X healed him indefinitely. Wolverine vs. Sabretooth - It was a quick brawl, Sabretooth underestimated Logan and he shredded Sabretooth's face off, popping 3 claws into his brain, decimating his neural system. Thus, Victor Creed was paralyzed indefinitely. Wolverine vs. Apocalypse - Apocalypse's powers easily destroyed Wolverine with the same tenacity he had fighting the Phoenix. But Jean Grey was forgiving and saved Logan before he perished in flames. Apocalypse kept destroying wolverine's exterior until his skeleton and few flesh chunks were abundant. Wolverine was saught to be dead and the Reavers and Hellions went to lay waste with his body in lye. With no pulse, Wolverine ressurrected from the dead, killed the Reavers and Hellions - fatally wounded the White Queen after she completely shredded his already deteriorated brain particles. Completely clueless of what had happened to him, after cutting Emma Frost's ribcage open - he came to fight Apocalypse and this time was too fast for the demi-god. Apocalypse blasted him with all he had but Wolverine was too swift and stuck his claws into the weak spot on En Saba Nur's back. Apocalypse grew to full size, but eventually fell to pieces, as Wolverine just kept shredding his metallic parts like he did to the Sentinals he mangled on 5TH Avenue. After he destroyed Apocalypse - he ran into Mastermold and dug his way into the robot all the way to it's cerebrum - where he shredded Mastermold to pieces. After killing Mastermold like a computer shredder - he ended up destroying 50 more sentinals and Nimrods - eventually killing Fitzroy whom could not deter Wolverine's beastial savvy over him. After killing Nimrod after blow for blow - he finally ended up meeting with Bishop. Only problem - he had ended up into the future with Bishop (Whom he kicked the crap out of upon first meeting him thinking he was an assassin) Wolverine vs. Superman - The biggest battle in history but not quaint. Wolverine was outmatched like any other human being. Only problem, he had to dodge the man of steel and fight like he had the Punisher, Ghost Rider, and Johnny Blaze beforehand. He had to take the power blasts like a man, and push back. That is how he got past the weapons and gadgets of punisher as well as Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, and even Spiderman. The fighters were too fast and agile for him - but Wolverine always had a fighting ace up his sleeve - animal instincts. Spiderman and the Scarlet Spider like Punisher tried to double back with their agility/size to fight Wolvie. But Wolverine ended up back flipping behind them and choking them out indecreetly. Punisher was knocked senseless, Spiderman snapped free but had a fractured neck from Logan's pressure hold on his vertebrae - and The Scarlet Spider was beaten to a pulp because he couldn't seem to hit Logan hard enough to deter him. Ghost Rider and Johnny Blaze were just beaten plain senseless (The hellfire was not doing anything to Logan) - but because Blaze and Ghost Rider also had Morbius and The Silver Samuraii on their team.... (whom all 4 beings used their powers but Wolverine got thru them anyways) and slashed them to the point of flatlining...... Allot of blood was lost - no pun intended. The Silver Samuraii lay for dead, while Blaze and Ghost Rider were fading out of lifeforce. Suddenly, tons of demons including Lilith and the Goblin Queen were getting intensely mauled by Wolverine once they tried to enter our world after the battle. Stryfe had also joined the battle, but was inconsecutively defeated in one fellow blow - cutting his head right off. He healed but threw Wolverine into the blackness of space onto the unforgiving surface of the moon. The Moon's frigid air kept Logan in a state of suspension - as the pressure of space crushed his adamantium skull. By the time he had no oxygen - he finally began to fall towards the Earth's atmosphere. He burned up all but to a crisp - landing in a desert making a crator. The next comic issue, a giant Billobong filled with Saltys (Crocodiles) appears. Next thing ya know the Salty grabs Logan's arm and three spikes come through the Crock's snout - killing it instantly. After running afoul Toad, Spike, and Mr. Sinister - whom all 3 gave everything they had (Wolverine beat Toad and Spike until they were retarded. The Shadow King tried to posses Wolverine but his Immune system crippled the Shadow King to a mere shadow dancer. Mr. Sinister gave it everything he had - but Wolverine shredded his stomach open and just mutilated Sinister until he offered a plea to get Logan out of Australia back to Stryfe.) A wounded Sinister dropped Logan off at an airbase in NYC where Stryfe was shocked to see Logan alive. This time Stryfe gave it all he had much like Apocalypse - and it was Cable whom had to save his estranged brother - as well as the Dark Riders (Spyne, Locus, and Genesis) Whom all 7 Riders and Cable gave it their best shot with ammo and mutant powers.....Wolverine remained victorious. He fatally wounded Stryfe - throwing him in front of a bus. While Stryfe was unconcious - Wolverine beat the crap out of Cable whom could not control Wolverine mentally - too vicsous. And Jean Grey tried to telekinetically stop wolverine but his fury ended up 'killing' The Dark Riders at the time - Logan also accidentally wounded Jean in the stomach with a claw. She eventually turned into the Phoenix again, that's when all hell broke loose and Wolverine chopped off Spines' head, mutilated Genesis to the point of facial reconstruction, and tore off Locus' limbs, just before going toe to toe with Cable - whom had his head crushed by Logan's Adamantium skeletanized fists pounding it. Phoenix burned Logan to the point of charcoal remains, but his skeleton still possessed enough intelligence to rip thru the cosmic being's energy - and kill it with one fatal blow to the head. (This only turned the Phoenix into the Dark Phoenix). His claw and body melted with the searing super nova heat signatures of the sun that the Dark Phoenix was flaring at him. But Wolverine kept his ground. He finally blew the Dark Phoenix up billions of lightyears away from earth. But He was burnt to a crisp - damn near vaporized/distintegrated. He was only alive in a suspended animation - until he went thru a black hole which actually ripped him to shreds - but his particles came back at the end of entropy (end of universe) and he suddenly time travelled back to earth in our time. He had won - but he had killed the one woman he truly loved:( In his final battle - he mauled Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, and the Punisher whom begged for mercy at a completely brainless Logan Patch. By the time he realized what he had done - the Fantastic Four had joined in to settle the score. Spiderman and Scarlet Spider were barely standing - as theirs and Venom's webbing did not hold the furious animal. Logan shredded Venom to pieces, while Brock became a mundane punching bag, just as the Fantastic Four were also getting jabbed in the face. They combined their powers - but Reed and The Thing were sustaining fatal injuries - even Ben Grimm could not withold. The invisible woman tried to get behind Logan - but he pulled a ninja move like he did The Silver Samurai. He swayed to his left and elbowed her ribcage in. Human Torch burned Logan with all he had, but Logan laughed and beat the kid wonder to a pulp. Lilith and her demons fled back in pieces - with Lilith's and the Goblin Queen's faces bleeding profusely from defeat. Wolverine remains undefeated in the Marvel Universe. Thor was the only one to use his hammer and get wolverine's attention - but even he and Loki and all of Asgard were beaten to near extinction. Thor feared no law enforcer nor mutant or even god could stop the raging wolverine. Wolverine had one target: MAGNETO Once he had dismantled Thor and beaten Thunderstrike to hospitalization....he ended up trekking to Europe where Erik Magnus await his final days. Wolverine vs. Magneto - Before he could even touch Magneto - he had the Brotherhood intercept him (vengeance for Toad) he ended up knocking out the blob and richocheting Richtor's face off with his own powers. Phantasia gathered Calypso and her sewer people to fight as well. Wolverine made quick work out of her and her sewer mutants. Phantasia ended up getting k.o.'d with a black eye and Blob, Reaper, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and Polaris whom had boyfriend at the time Havok were beaten excessively with kicks and well landed punches to the noggin. Thier powers seemed to just enrage the Wolverine. He ended up crushing Alpha Flight as well - while Vindicator, Puck, and Guardian were seriously injured in the heat of the battle. Wolverine began to come about his wits - but still wanted to kill Magneto. Magneto tried to rip the adamantium out of Wolverine again, except this time. He charged Mags and implaled him with the same steel he was yanking out. Erik put the adamantium back because he knew wolverine had every right to kill him - especially this time. Wolverine left Erik to die - and ended up going to NYC where he killed Donald Pierce, Mystique, Mastermind, and Fatally wounded the Kingpin for answers on the whearabouts of Sauron - whom he also beat to a grizzly demise after interrogation. He was looking for Professor X! Wolverine vs. Onslaught (Superman continued)
Is Adrenal cortex is made of neural tissue?
no, it synthesizes hormones
What are neural mechanisms?
Neural Mechanisms refer to structures such as neurons (nerve cells), neural circuits and regions of the brain plus substances such as neurotransmitters and hormones. These regulate behaviour, voluntary and involuntary systems.
What is Central and peripheral Neural Mechanism of Emotion?
Central neural mechanisms of emotion involve brain regions such as the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, which control emotional responses and regulation. Peripheral neural mechanisms involve the autonomic nervous system and hormonal processes that influence physiological changes in response to emotions, like changes in heart rate or sweating. Together, these mechanisms work in concert to generate and regulate emotional responses in the brain and body.
What helps changes light rays into neural impulses?
Retina
Is the hypothalamus considered a neuroendocrine organ?
yes because it produces hormones along with its other neural functions.
What is the difference between neural control and humoral control of endocrine glands?
Hormone levels can be controlled by the nervous system (neural control), by other hormones (hormonal control), or by body fluids such as the blood (humoral control).
Is hormonal coordination slower than neural coordination?
Yes because hormones need to be secreted into the bloodstream, and reach the target organ before they can begin their functioning, whereas nerves go by neural pathways directly to their targets.
Does neural impulses travel faster than hormonal messages?
Nerve impulses move at nearly the speed of light. Hormones are chemicals that are released over a period of time to Crete changes in a multicellular organism. So, naturally, nerve impulses are faster.
What is the organisms actions as a result of sensory neural and hormonal factors in response to changes in the external or internal conditions?
Stimulus
What hormone stimulates and inhibits secretion of anterior pituitary?
Neurosecretary cells respond to neural control. When they are stimulated they release inhibiting hormones, as well as others. The pituitary gland produces and releases human growth hormone (hGH). In order to control the amount of hormone released, the endocrine system has a hormonal control system, neural control system, and a negative and positive feedback system. If the hypothalamus decides that the pituitary is putting out too much hGH, it uses neural control via the neurosecretory cells to release human growth hormone inhibiting factor (hGHIF) through hormonal control slows down the production in the pituitary.
What is the organism's actions as a result of sensory neural and hormonal factors in response to changes in external or internal conditions?
Stimulus
What is neural sculpting?
Neural sculpting is a process that involves rewiring the brain by intentionally creating new neural pathways through repeated mental exercises and experiences. This concept is often utilized in practices like meditation, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy to promote positive changes in behavior, thoughts, and emotions. By sculpting the brain in this way, individuals can strengthen desired neural connections and weaken harmful ones.
