Brain

If you are referring to baseball, the raised area is known as the pitcher's mound.

Ten minutes give or take. You are not dead or declared dead until your brain is fully dead. Your brain can survive about 10 minutes without oxygen before complete death. If someone hooks you up to a brainwave monitor you will not be declared dead until that monitor flatlines. Hope this helps

The medulla oblongata is responsible for controlling vital autonomic functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, and swallowing. It also serves as a relay center for sensory and motor pathways traveling between the brain and spinal cord.

This could be a deliberate choice by the stylists or directors for each project to create different looks for the character. It may also be to visually differentiate between the serious, authoritative character in Law & Order and the more relatable, approachable character in the AmeraTrade commercial.

The midbrain is the smallest region of the brain that acts as a sort of relay station for auditory and visual information. The midbrain controls many important functions such as the visual and auditory systems as well as eye movement. Portions of the midbrain called the red nucleus and the substantia nigra are involved in the control of body movement. The darkly pigmented substantia nigra contains a large number of dopamine-producing neurons are located. The degeneration of neurons in the substantia nigra is associated with Parkinson's disease.

Hydrochlorothiazide capsules come in many different colors, depending on the company which manufactures them. If unsure what a medication is, you should always check with your pharmacist before taking it, or dispose of it.

The rights for Bobbs-Merrill Co are currently controlled by Random House, a division of Penguin Random House. Bobbs-Merrill Co was acquired by Macmillan in 1985, which was later merged into what is now Penguin Random House.

Pill bugs belong to the family Armadillidiidea. As members of the order Isopoda their nervous system is centralized, though in a very basic fashion, in the form OS nerve clusters called Ganglion.

The temporal lobe is responsible for processing auditory information, language comprehension, memory formation, and emotional responses. It also plays a role in object recognition and facial perception.

The prefrontal cortex, specifically the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, is largely involved in processing emotional responses, decision-making, and moral behavior, which can lead to feelings of remorse. Additionally, the amygdala, which is involved in emotional processing, can also play a role in the experience of remorse.

Anoxic brain injury is the result of a major lack of oxygen to the brain. When the brain doesn't receive proper amounts of glucose and oxygen, nerves in the cortex where cells originate are damaged. It takes about five minutes for lack of oxygen to permanently damage the brain. Anoxic brain injury causes diffuse damage, meaning that it causes damage throughout the brain. Causes of Anoxic Brain Injury There are three types of anoxic brain injury. Anemic anoxia is a result of blood that doesn't carry enough oxygen. Toxic anoxia is caused by toxins that block oxygen in the blood from being used. Anoxic anoxia occurs when no oxygen is supplied to the brain. Common causes of all three types include: * Respiratory arrest * Drowning * Heart attack * Carbon monoxide inhalation * Poisoning Symptoms of Anoxic Brain Injury While symptoms will vary based upon the area of the brain that's affected, common signs of anoxic brain injury include: * Cognitive issues * Weakness in arms and legs * Lack of coordination; abnormal movements * Visual problems * Emotional and behavioral problems Prognosis for Anoxic Brain Injury Degree and rate of recovery is highly dependent upon individual circumstances. The amount of time spent unconscious or in a coma, as well as how much is recovered within the first month, are good indicators of long-term recovery.

The brainstem, specifically the pons and medulla oblongata, play a crucial role in regulating respiration during sleep. The limbic system and prefrontal cortex are involved in the generation and processing of dreams during the rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep.

There are multiple pathways by which information from sensory receptors reaches the cerebral cortex. These pathways vary based on the type of information carried. For example, information from the body about pain and temperature travels via a pathway called the anterolateral system; information from the body about conscious body position sense and fine touch travels through the dorsal column-medial lemniscus system. Unconscious sensation of body position has its own pathways. The face has a separate set of pathways that mirror those for the rest of the body.

Porencephalic cysts are pockets of cerebrospinal fluid within the brain that can result from birthing trauma, infection, or prenatal stroke. While they may lead to neurological symptoms and developmental delays, the severity can vary. Monitoring and management by a medical professional are important to address any potential complications.

Theobromine is a bitter alkaloid found in cocoa beans and tea leaves. It is similar to caffeine in structure and is a mild central nervous system stimulant. Theobromine is known to have various effects on the body, including increasing heart rate and dilating blood vessels.

In this case, the brainstem, which controls essential functions such as breathing and heart rate, is likely still functioning. This is why the person is able to continue living without life-sustaining equipment, even though they may be unresponsive.

People who study physiology are called physiologists. They investigate how the body's cells, tissues, and organs function together to maintain health and balance in the body.

Yes, in most mammals, the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain. This is due to the way the nerves are interconnected in the brain.

As your temperature goes up, so will your heart rate. Your blood pressure may go up, at first, but will eventually go down, in response to your rapid heart rate. As your blood pressure drops (it may go very low, esp. if you experience shaking chills), your respiratory rate will go up in an attempt to oxygenate all of your body's cells.

== == I don't know if brain tumors calcify or if the plaque that forms in Alzheimer's Disease involves any type of calcification. Probably the best place to look is a site specifically devoted to Med School and to neurology and brain surgery. [See Comments.]

I don't think at the moment it is possible to "capture" smell in the way that we can with sound and vision.

First you would need to build a mechanical nose that can pick up and identify smells, then you could have that turn it into little 1s and 0s, and then you could take those ones and zeros and put them into a machine that can MAKE smells. That would be the hard part. If perhaps we had a few 'base smells' that all other smells could be made from, and these smells were available in liquid form, you would only have to mix the bases to form any one smell (the mechanical nose could tell the machine how to do this).

I don't think such a thing would be 100% accurate, though.

However, with perfume and the like, certain smells become widely available to the public, which, in a sense, is capturing them.

The lottery system for the US Diversity Visa Program is designed to provide a fair opportunity for individuals from countries with lower rates of immigration to the US. This helps promote diversity and allows for a wider range of individuals to have the chance to live and work in the US. While it may seem unfair to some, the intent is to create a system that gives everyone an equal chance regardless of their background or intelligence.

The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that is primarily associated with thoughts, decision-making, planning, and other higher cognitive functions. It is located at the front of the brain, just behind the forehead, and plays a critical role in regulating complex behaviors and personality.

The average human brain weighs three pounds (1.36 kilograms). The average female brain capacity is 79.3 cubic inches, slightly smaller than the male brain of 88.5 cubic inches. The largest human brains may be twice those of average size, but size has no relevance to brain performance.
