Why cant i fully control the movement of my penis?
Because your penis is controlled by your autonomic nervous system, not by conscious thought. You also do not fully control the eating of your heart. The autonomic nervous system is a division of the peripheral nervous system that supplies smooth muscle and glands, and thus influences the function of internal organs. The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, and sexual arousal.
What happens in the body when you eat something cold?
Thermoreceptors in the nerve cells of the mouth respond to temperature of objects. When these receptors are activated, ion channels are opened and action potentials are sent to the central nervous system. Cool objects/food activates these thermoreceptors. However, if something that is too cold enters the mouth, nociceptors will be activated. These receptors register pain and inform the central nervous system that the object is harmful.
Helmholtz's experiment with the frog's nerve indicated that the speed of the nervous impulse was?
Conduction velocities are specific to each person and depend largely on an axon's diameter and the degree to which that axon is myelinated. Some myelinated neurons conducting at speeds up to 120 m/s (432 km/h).
Diaphragm contractions are regulated by what nerve?
The diaphragm's contractions are regulated by the phrenic nerve. A diaphragm are the muscle that inserts on the central tendon.
What is used to record the activity of large groups of cortical neurons just below the skull?
electroencephalograph
The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for preparing you body for the fight or flight response.
The role of the hypothalamus.Combination of the brain and nervous as well as muscular and cardiovascular system. The brain initiates the process and everything becomes innate from there...the nervous system delivers the fight or flight signals, the heart beats faster and the muscles tense in order to release energy and react quicker to the organism's surroundings
Adrenaline prepares your body for the fight response.
It's actually a take on an old nursery rhyme. Its a play on words and should not be read;
Twelve pairs hanging high twelve men riding by each man grabs a pear but leave a dozen hanging there. How is this possible?
Its twelve pairs of pears and each rider takes one pear, leaving the other 12 there...a dozen.
muscular and skeletal
^^ FAIL.
The two organ systems that control and coordinate the 50 trillion cells in a human are actually the nervous system, and endocrine system. 100% positive. Go anatomy and physiology kids:)
What is the secretory product of the lacrimal gland?
Tears are secreted by the lacrimal glands.
tears
The secretions of the lacrimal gland are more commonly known as TEARS. The lacrimal gland is what produces the tears that lubricate and clean your eye.
Tears
What is the difference between motor nerve and sensory nerve and association or connector nerves?
What is the medical term meaning Nerves that carry impulses away from the CNS?
Efferent nerves.
the motor neuron transmits the impulse away from the CNS and to the effector
What part of the autonomic nervous system causes an increase in digestive tract mobility?
Stimulation of the Parasympathetic nervous system causes an increase in digestive tract mobility.
When stimulated the parasympathetic post-ganglionic neurons release a hormone called Acetylcholine. This causes the Digestive tract to increase its contractions.
Counteracting this increase in digestive tract mobility is the sympathetic nervous system, which releases a hormone called noradrenaline which slows down the digestive tracts contractions.
This is how the Parasympathetic Nervous System gets the name "rest and digest"
