Diurnal rhythms are the same as circadian rhythms?

Not exactly. Circadian rhythms are a subset of diurnal rhythms. Diurnal rhythms reoccur daily and can be circadian and non-circadian. Circadian rhythms can be set by the environment (entrainment), but are not dependent on environment stimulus for continuation (free-running) (ie. hormone secretion). Non-circadian rhythms are responsive to the environment, but still operate on a daily cycle (ie. the process of photosynthesis).


Do men have Infradian rhythms?

I'm currently taking a psychology course online and they are teaching me about biological rhythms (periodic physiological changes). Circadian and Ultradian rhythms occur in both men and women. When they explained Infradian rhythms they gave the example of a woman's menstrual cycle. [NOTE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT INFRADIAN RHYTHMS ARE: It is a biological rhythm that takes longer than twenty-four hours but less than one year to fully complete] I couldn't find anything on any web page about a man's Infradian cycle, and it is bothering me more than anything.

Can there be a diurnal cycle if earth was not spinning?

That depends on what you're relating the spin to. If the Earth did not spin relative to space itself, there would be a diurnal cycle. However, each 'day' would last half a year, with the other half occupied by one night. If the Earth did rotate, but did not rotate relative to the Sun, we would be in much the same situation the Moon is in with us - one face always showing to the Sun, the other always hidden. In this scenario, we would have no diurnal cycle.


What are semidiurnal tides?

Semidiurnal tides are tides that have two high tides and two low tides of about the same height each day. This pattern occurs because the Earth experiences two high and two low tidal bulges due to the gravitational forces of the moon and sun.

What are the three main tidal patterns?

The three main tidal patterns are Diurnal, Semi-diurnal, and Mixed Semi-diurnal. If an area has one high tide and one low tide each day it is called Diurnal. If the area has two high tides and two low tides of the same height , it is called Semi-diurnal, if the tides are differing heights it is called mixed Semi-diurnal.

Are diurnal snakes venomous?

Whether a snake is diurnal or nocturnal does not affect if it is venomous. Some are venomous but most are not. The same is true of nocturnal snakes. If you see any snake and are not sure if it is venomous, don't take the risk.

Absolutely not. Some animals are nocturnal, and others are diurnal. I can eat 24/7 -but I'm not proud of that!

Can you take fluconazole with cefixime?

No. Together they act as a CNS depressant. Taking both at the same time can not only knock out your ability to breath...it can cause irregular heart rhythms. In short, it can be fatal.
