Supposedly named after its use by London Aldermen to make themselves sick so they could go on eating. To effect this, cold water was poured down the back of the ear to stimulate the reflex. I heard this many years ago from a medical student, who said there was a direction connection from the nerve to the stomach! Round about that time I also heard a theory that the symptoms of motion-sickness - which is connected with disturbances of the inner ear - are caused by the body being disoriented in a manner similar to that caused by food-poisoning. Being sick would then be a prudent response. If true, then maybe an Alderman's nerve connection?

How do you use the nerve stimulator?

There are fifteen steps on how to use the nerve stimulator. Some of the step-by-step instructions are wash hands, select the monitoring site, and then choose a site free from injury.


What muscle and nerve will you need to isolate to study the physiology of nerve fibers?

To study the physiology of nerve fibers, you would need to isolate a specific muscle and the nerve innervating that muscle. This allows for the investigation of the interaction between the nerve and muscle, observing the transmission of signals and studying the response of the muscle to nerve stimulation. Commonly studied muscles and nerves in this context include the gastrocnemius muscle and the sciatic nerve in animal models.


What is the use of nerve up for?

Nerve Up is a supplement containing B vitamins and amino acids that are believed to support nerve health and function. It is often used to help alleviate symptoms of neuropathy, such as nerve pain, tingling, and numbness. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before using Nerve Up or any other supplement.

Would you use a myelinated frog nerve an unmyelinated rat nerve or a myelinated rat nerve if you were studying nerve physiology in the laboratory?

tough one to answer really, as all three will give you different nerve conduction velocitys to a stimulus. the unmyelinated rat nerve will obviously be the least conductive, the frog nerve more conductive than that and the myelinated rat nerve more conductive again. But in general, tha main consensus would use a frog nerve, as the frog has been the choice of many a physiology lab for who knows how long.
