What is the difference from static shock and electric shock?

Static shock is a sudden discharge of static electricity, often felt as a mild tingling or stinging sensation when touching an object. Electric shock, on the other hand, is the flow of electric current through a person's body, which can result in injury or even death depending on the intensity and duration of the shock. Static shock is generally harmless, while electric shock can be dangerous.


Can the brain and spinal cord withstand considerable trauma due to the meninges acting as a shock absorber?

Yes, the meninges surrounding the brain and spinal cord act as a protective layer that can help absorb some of the shock from trauma. They provide a cushioning effect that can help reduce the impact on these vital structures, although severe trauma can still cause damage or injury.


What acts as a shock absorber for cns?

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) acts as a shock absorber for the central nervous system. CSF surrounds the brain and spinal cord, providing cushioning and protection against impact or injury.


Will 4000 volts knock you down?

It is possible that a shock of 4000 volts could knock someone down, depending on various factors including the pathway the electricity travels through the body, the duration of the shock, and individual differences in health and physiology. However, the effects of electric shock can vary greatly from person to person.


If you were to spend a lot of time studying nerve physiology in the lab what type of stimulus would you use and why?

You would likely use electrical stimulation because it provides precise control over the timing, intensity, and duration of the stimulus. This would allow you to study the response of nerves in a controlled and reproducible manner, helping you to better understand their physiology and function.
