This category is for questions about the mechanical and chemical process of reactions to internal and external stimuli, ranging from the brain down to the spinal cord, and all nerves, cells and tissues in between.

List the items you would inspect on a HVAC system?

Common checks include coil cleanliness, proper airflow, refrigerant charge and inspection of electrical components.

Is lacrimation the normal continuous secretion of tears by the lacrimal glands?

Yes, lacrimation refers to the production of tears by the lacrimal glands to keep the eyes moist and free from debris. It is a normal physiological process that helps protect and lubricate the eyes.

What is inflammation of the lacrimal gland by bacterial viral or fungal infection called?

Inflammation of the lacrimal gland by bacterial, viral, or fungal infection is called Dacryoadenitis.

Which part of the cerebellum is the oldest one?

The vermis is considered the oldest part of the cerebellum, evolutionarily speaking. It plays a vital role in controlling posture and balance.

What regulates body processes such as growth and devlopment?

Nearly every process in the human organism is kept in balance by the intricate interaction of different nervous and endocrine regulatory chemicals.
The endocrine system operates with the nervous system to finely adjust the many processes they regulate.
The neuroendocrine system adjusts nutrient supply, calcitonin, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D balance calcium ion use. The nervous system and hormones regulate reproduction.

What words are all associated with the nervous system?

The nervous system controls everything you do, including breathing, walking, thinking, and feeling.

When the urge to urinate is ignored does the sympathetic nervous system gradually become more aroused to oppose the micturition reflex arc?

Yes, causing an increasingly uncomfortable feeling of restlessness, agitation, and the need to move about constantly, often exhibited in such people. Some of them ignore it even then! The body is thus locked in a struggle with itself, and the mind refuses to give in and allow urination. Such people often require therapy.

What is the action of depressants and stimulants on the synapses of the nervous system?

Generally, depressants slow down neurotransmission (messages sent from neuron to neuron) reducing overall activity in the brain, whereas stimulants speed up the amount of neurotransmission, hence increasing overall activity in the brain.

How long does neurotransmitter stay in the synapse What is the rate of removal of neurotransmitter Is it an exponential decay?

Neurotransmitter stay for few milliseconds only in the synapse. The rate is difficult to define, but then the decay is most probably exponential decay. The acetylcholine is destroyed by the enzyme acetylcholinestarage. The noradrenaline is taken up back by the neuron, which has secreted it.

When an electrical impluse travels along a motor neuron and arrives at a neuromuscular junction what happens?

Calcium enters through the voltage-gate and triggers the release of transmitter.

" the entry of calcium through voltage-gated calcium channels causes synaptic vesicles to fuse with the presynaptic plasma membrane and release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft. Acetylcholine diffuses across the cleft and binds to muscle acetylcholine receptors, causing depolarization and an action potential that travels throughout the length of the muscle cell triggering muscle contraction. "

Is dacryoadenitis an inflammation of the lacrimal gland that can be caused by a bacterial?

Yes, its an inflammation of the lacrimal gland that can be caused by a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection.

What are similarities between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system?

Question is short but answer is bit long. Parasympathetic system is meant for to to maintain the homeostasis and body building. Sympathetic system is meant to give you ' Fight or flight response. So you have pupils constricted in parasympathetic and dilated in sympathetic response. You need not see towards the world during first and need to look at the world carefully in danger. Secretions of gastrointestinal system are increased, peristalsis is increased, spinctures are opened up during stimulation of the parasympathetic system. This helps in digestion and body building. Vise verse is true with sympathetic system. During stimulation of the sympathetic system your cardiovascular system is on the toes, to supply more blood to muscles. So the heart rate is increased, stroke volume is increased ans as a result you have great increase in cardiac output. So cardiac output may go to 25 litres / minute from 5 litres / minutes. Blood vessels to muscles are dilated, so that almost 20 litres blood goes to muscles. Net increase from 0.5 litres to 20 litres / minute. In respiratory system you have bronchial system dilated to provide more oxygen to lungs in sympathetic stimulation, the bronchial secretions are less in amount and respiratory rate increases to high level. Vise verse is true with parasympathetic system, when you are resting and need less of the oxygen. In parasympathetic system you have contraction of urinary bladder and relaxation of the spincture to void the urine. During stress you have no time for urination and reverse is true. Erection of penis is managed by parasympathetic system and ejaculation is done by sympathetic system.

What class of muscles move food along the digestive tract and keep the heart beating?

Involuntary muscles perform the work of internal organs. In the case of the digestive tract, peristaltic muscles are smooth muscle that surrounds the intestines; the heart uses cardiac muscle, a special kind of striated muscle.

What happens to the muscle membrane when acetylcholine binds to receptors at the motor plate?

When acetylcholine binds to receptors at the motor plate, this binding opens ligand-gated ion channels on the motor end plate, ions diffuse through the open ligand gated ion channels, and the flow of ions causes the motor end plate to reach threshold and an action potential is generated at the motor end plate.

How does the vagus nerve affect sinus bradycardia rhythm?

Vagus nerve stimulation in vasovagal attack in the cause of sinus bradycardia. Vagus nerve stimulation may stop the heart.

Do animals without a brain feel pain?

Animals without a brain, like jellyfish and sea anemones, have simple nerve cells that allow them to sense and respond to their environment, including detecting and reacting to potential harm. While their ability to feel pain is not fully understood, some studies suggest they can exhibit behaviors indicating the presence of discomfort or injury.

Why do l feel nervous without reason?

You don't, because you do have a reason. Anxiety Nervosa or anxiety neurosis is a very common and well-documented mental illness. I hate to use "mental illness" because it can conjure up all kinds of negative images like men in white coats zapping your brains with electricity etc. anxiety can be mildly unpleasant, or it can be so severe you can barely function for fear of doing the wrong thing and paying a dreadful price for it.

Fortunately anxiety is very treatable without any of the Cuckoo's Nest unpleasantness, but your first stop should be at your doctor's office and I am confident you will be prescribed something that will help you feel at least considerably less anxious in pretty short order. Of course, I base this on the way you asked your question. Had you said something along the lines that you felt so terrified you could barely get out of bed, and the prospect of doing a day's work and dealing with clients or coworkers or even the coffee pot filled you with palpable mortal dread, I would still feel fairly confident that you would be able to get relief coz I been there, done that. You are going to be ok, but you need to see a doctor as soon as you can

The x cranial nerve is the nerve?

The x cranial nerve is the vagus nerve. It is responsible for regulating vital functions in the body such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate. It also plays a role in the communication between the brain and various organs in the body.
