What else can I help you with?
What signals your body to breathe?
The brain stem.
What event signals the brian to breathe?
The brain signals to breathe primarily through the medulla oblongata, which detects changes in carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in the blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise or oxygen levels drop, chemoreceptors in the medulla are activated, prompting the diaphragm and other respiratory muscles to contract, initiating the breathing process. This automatic response helps maintain homeostasis by regulating blood gas levels.
What moves up the brainstem?
The brain stem is necessary to control all involuntary functions in the human body. Signals are sent up and down the brain stem that tell your heart to beat and your lungs to breathe.
What sends a message to your brain when you hold your breath?
Holding your breath increases levels of carbon dioxide in your body, which signals the brain to trigger the urge to breathe. Receptors in the body called chemoreceptors sense the changes in carbon dioxide levels and send signals to the brainstem, prompting it to initiate breathing.
What will your brain do to make you inhale?
Your brain will force you to breathe in
Which part of the brain make you breathe?
The brain stem
How does a human nose function?
The human nose functions by detecting and processing odors in the air we breathe. The nose contains specialized cells that detect specific odors, sending signals to the brain for interpretation. The nasal passages also help filter, warm, and humidify the air before it reaches the lungs.
After your ears convert sound waves into electrical signals where are the signals sent for interpretation?
The electrical signals generated by the ears are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve for interpretation. The brain processes and interprets these signals to create the perception of sound.
What interprets signals?
the brain
How nerve signals are transmitted at a synapse?
An electrical charge is spread through your body... The brain sends an electrical current to the point of the nerve to tell the body of the event...
Can you breathe on your own if your brain dead?
no
Where do the voluntary muscles get their signals from?
The brain
