What nerve causes increased peristalsis and decreased heart rate when the nerve impulses?
The vagus nerve, a part of the parasympathetic nervous system, is responsible for increasing peristalsis in the gastrointestinal tract and decreasing heart rate. When the vagus nerve is stimulated, it releases neurotransmitters that promote digestive activity while inhibiting the heart's pacemaker activity. This dual action helps regulate bodily functions during restful states, aligning with the body's "rest and digest" responses.
What else can I help you with?
Sympathetic division stimulation causes?
Increased blood glucose, decreased GI peristalsis, and increased heart rate and blood pressure.
What does the act of swallowing cause?
causes a wave of esophageal contraction called peristalsis. Peristalsis pushes food along the esophagus. Normally, peristalsis causes the esophageal sphincter to relax and allow food into the stomach.
Sympathetic nervous system stimulation causes what?
with stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system there will be a. constriction of the pupils b. dilation of the coronary arteries c. constriction of selected blood vessels d. profuse sweating
What causes tinnitius?
Electrical impulses
Why does fever increase YOUR bmr?
Not really. Actually, in case of fever, temperature is increased which causes most of the enzymes to be degraded, therefore enzymatic activity get decreased that leads to lowering of the metabolism rate. Thus, BMR is decreased.
What is the process that causes food to move along the digestive system?
"peristalsis"
Why do some very lucky people have the inability to gain weight?
Some people have thyroid problems which causes their metabolisms to be dramatically increased/decreased. xxxRucaxxx
What effect does increased adh have on the renal tubules?
Increased ADH (antidiuretic hormone) causes the renal tubules to become more permeable to water, leading to increased reabsorption of water back into the bloodstream. This results in decreased urine output, which helps to conserve water in the body.
What is meant by reverse peristalsis and describe what parts are involved?
Peristalsis is the muscular action that causes material to travel (normally) through the gastro-intestinal system. Reverse peristalsis is the reverse : that is from the colon to the small intestines to the stomach to the esophagus to the mouth - and then vomited out.
What does acetylcholine do to bronchioles?
Acetylcholine causes bronchoconstriction by binding to muscarinic receptors on smooth muscle in the bronchioles, leading to narrowing of the airways. This can result in difficulty breathing and decreased airflow to the lungs.
What agent causes no gag reflex and decreased eye movement and nausea and vomiting?
Botulism causes no gag reflex and decreased eye movement and nausea and vomiting.
What causes the peristalsis to slow down?
Factors such as dehydration, lack of fiber in the diet, certain medications, and medical conditions like irritable bowel syndrome can lead to a slowdown in peristalsis. Additionally, stress and changes in hormone levels can also affect the contraction and relaxation of the muscles responsible for peristalsis.
