What can heilum do to your vocal cord?

Helium will vibrate your vocal chords, like "normal" air does, but since helium is lighter than the air we normally breathe and has different properties it causes the vocal chords to resonate at a much higher pitch. That's why people sound as if their voice is a sped-up recording when they talk after breathing it.

Though it's amusing on occasion, breathing helium in regularly probably is not a good idea. It might not permanently damage the vocal chords, but anything breathed into the lungs will likely eventually make it into the bloodstream and then the veins. You don't want helium to replace the oxygen that normally travels to your brain. In fact, if you were in a sealed room filled with more helium than normal air you would probably suffer brain damage or death from oxygen deprivation.

The difference between the brain and the spinal cord?

brain controls perception,reflexes,emotionsbehavioral sequences,etc.

spinal cord helps in transmission of neural inputs between periphery and brain

What is the name of the short cord that attaches a fly to a line in fishing?

A leader.


A leader can also be made up of a section of heavier monofilament (usually 8 to 9 feet) and then about 6 to 8 inches of smaller diameter length of monofilament, called "tippet" is then attached to the end of the leader. The fly would be attached to the tippet.

What is moderate arachnoid diverticula on right at S1 segment?

arachnoid diverticula refers to a syst growing within the spinal column usually in the fluid that surrounds the spinal cord this can cause pressure on the nerves resulting in various symptoms from pain to loss of coordination or movement

S1 refers to the point along the spine hat the syst is located

What is the inferior boundary of the spinal cord?

In adults, the spinal cord terminates at approximately the level of L1. The nerve roots then descend through a fluid sac containing cerebrospinal fluid and are referred to as the cauda equina ("tail of a horse").

How does the spinal cord works?

The spinal cord transmits messages between the body and brain through nerve pathways.

What tells the brain how things feel when you touch them?

Your nervous system, which is located in your spinal cord.

Will the neural tube develop into the brain and the spinal cord?

Yes. The neural tube is a long, hollow structure that extends about the full length of the developing embryo. The tube itself gives rise to both components of the central nervous system (CNS): the brain and the spinal cord.

What section of the spinal column forms part of the bony pelvis?

the spinal column section that forms part of the bony pelvis is called

Where is the best place to shoot yourself in the head?

Not that you should try it. But you supposedly want to shoot yourself in the back of the head. Specifically the area where your Spine and Skull meet. Your odds of severing your spinal cord are much higher. I also believe that the more important functions of the brain are in the back of the head.

Why would it be good for certain information to be processed directly at the base of the spinal cord?

This is not speculated, it is actually the case that The Brain does not have time, as concerns walking, to fully and minutely coordinate this activity.

What does occur is that the Brain sends a message to the lumbar area that says, for example, "Walk"; and then a highly specialized [neuronal] area near the Spine's base is called upon to produce movement, and if all is well, motion and mobility.

What are somatosensory evoked potential studies used for?

Somatosensory evoked potentials record transmission of nerve impulses from the limbs to the brain, and can be used to diagnose nerve damage or degeneration within the spinal cord or nerve roots from multiple sclerosis, trauma, or other.

Why are the cell bodies of the neuron only located in the brain and the spinal cord?

Neurons are the messengers of the central nervous system (CNS) which is composed of the brain and the spinal cord.

What is a ubs cord for?

UBS cords are used to connect devices to your computer. All UBS drives have a universal socket, which one side of the UBS cable plugs into. The other side of the cable plugs into the device you want to connect. For example, a camera cord
