Yawning

If your lucky enough to fall in love chances are it is once.

You are very tired, have agood sleep before you die of the following :

Excessive yawning (1-4 yawns/minute) is associated with a variety of conditions. The majority of these are disorders of the central nervous system, and include epilepsy, encephalitis, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis and progressive supranuclear palsy. Excessive yawning is also associated with opiate withdrawl and the consumption of a variety of drugs that affect neurotransmitters, such as drugs prescribed for Parkinson's disease or depression.

Becuase there used to be an ancient story of a monsterous obease man who would go around eatting all the people. After he devoured the human he would yawn. They saw this as disrespectful and thus eventually destroyed the beast.

People knew about this story all over and began to see others yawning as impolite. It evolved from this story. Its called Tomonus Monstrousis.

That could be from TMJ problems. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which is where the jaw connects to the skull, can cause pain and other problems. Your dentist or oral surgeon can diagnose and tell you if this is what is causing the pain when you yawn. If so, there are now a number of treatments, many of which are non-surgical and non-invasive, that can give tremendous relief to pain and discomfort.

sorry, I'm a girl and I've got to say that's kind of harsh (what she did not what you did). but if you were somewhere where yawning isn't really appropriate than I have to take her side it really just depends on the location and the moment. If it was a romantic moment than yawning doesn't really spell romance sorry. It was at her mom's place xmas nite, rediculous. but according to her I yawn all the time. well, too much she says...makes her think I'm bored she says. I've always yawned throughout the day...this is the first its been mentioned

yes, and it's very unpleasant, your trachea feels like it was hit with a rock!

When we do a movement like a yawn, this is a form of pandiculation.

Any movement can produce pain yet we can pandiculate the discomfort out of us.

Here's what we've learned. In 1680, the founder of clinical medicine noted that pandiculations can bring the muscles to rest. Today we've systematized the pandiculations as somatics exercises.

When you do a movement such as a yawn, the key is to first not get the pain response to fire up. Try doing the movement and stay under the level of pain, then slowly release yourself.

If you feel the front of the neck, the shoulders or the back of the head hesitating upon the release. That's good news. Make sure you slow down the release the next time.

When you move or pandiculate, you feel what is actually happening. What muscles you are contracting. What is it your using to create this movement.

By slowly releasing, you get the tissues to soften since the brain's cortex will do this "if" you release slowly. Like untying a knot, you can muscles to let go.

Once you get better at it, then you'll able to yawn widely without any pain.

If you need more help, you can find a Hanna Somatic Educator who can teach you the simple somatics exercises we use to overcome physical pain.

Yawning is not a disease.

Excessive yawning can be caused by a vasovagal reaction. A vasovagal reaction is caused by the action of a nerve on the blood vessels. This nerve is called the vagus nerve. It may indicate a heart problem.

Yes, and the sooner the better. You could possibly have sleep apnea, a condition that prevents a person from getting to the deep "REM" stage of sleep. Ask your doctor for a "sleep study," and if an apnea (an interruption of sleep where the pallet temporarily closes off the airway to the lungs) is diagnosed, there is a simple non-surgical treatment available: using a C-PAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure) machine, which keeps that pallet airway open all night long. I've been a user of a C-PAP for almost three years now and absolutely love this machine. Mine has a humidifier attached (uses distilled water) for those times when the ambient air is too dry. Most insurance companies will pay for such a medical device.

Human lungs 'brush' themselves clean of contaminants

Friday, September 07, 2012 by: David Gutierrez, staff writer

Human lungs contain a tiny network of constantly moving "brushes" that flush contaminants out of the respiratory system, according to research conducted by scientists from the University of North Carolina and published in the journal Science.

Scientists have known for a long time that the respiratory system protects itself by means of a coating of mucus, which is sticky enough to trap pollutants and keep them from reaching the body's cells. When needed, the body can expel this mucus through a runny nose or a cough.

"The air we breathe isn't exactly clean, and we take in many dangerous elements with every breath," said lead researcher Michael Rubinstein.

"We need a mechanism to remove all the junk we breathe in, and the way it's done is with a very sticky gel, called mucus, that catches these particles and removes them with the help of tiny cilia. The cilia are constantly beating, even while we sleep.

"In a coordinated fashion, they push mucus, containing foreign objects, out of the lungs, and we either swallow it or spit it out. These cilia even beat for a few hours after we die. If they stopped, we'd be flooded with mucus that provides a fertile breeding ground for bacteria."

But until now, researchers have never understood why the mucus does not stick to or even infiltrate the respiratory cells themselves. The foremost theory, known as the "gel-on-liquid model," posited that an as-yet-undiscovered watery "periciliary" layer kept mucus and cilia separate. The problem with this theory was always that to the best of scientific knowledge, mucus should eventually dissolve into such a watery layer, not remain separate.

"We can't have a watery layer separating sticky mucus from our cells because there is an osmotic pressure in the mucus that causes it to expand in water," Rubinstein says. "So what is really keeping the mucus from sticking to our cells?"

"Gel-on-brush"

To get to the bottom of the mystery, the researchers used modern imaging techniques to examine the interior of the lungs. They found a dense network of brush-like structures that sit atop the cilia. These brushes are composed of protective molecules that keep both mucus and contaminants from getting to the respiratory cells beneath. These molecules also function as a second line of defense against viruses or bacteria that manage to penetrate the mucus.

Stephen Spiro of the British Lung Foundation said the findings could help significantly improve scientific understanding of lung function.

"Mucus has a complex biological make-up and forms a vital part of the lungs' defense mechanism," he said.

"Research such as this helps our understanding [of] how this system works, and of the complex mechanisms deep within our lungs which protect us from the atmosphere we breathe in."

Rubinstein and his fellow researchers noted that their findings may also explain previously mysterious lung disorders from asthma to cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These diseases may stem from a collapse of the protective brushes.

"We found that there is a specific condition, below which the brush is healthy and cells are happy," Rubinstein said. "But above this ideal condition, in diseases like CF or COPD, the brush becomes compressed and actually prevents the normal cilia beating and healthy flow of mucus."

In such conditions, the mucus would then stick directly to the lung's cells.

"The collapse of this brush is what can lead to immobile mucus and result in infection, inflammation and eventually the destruction of lung tissue and the loss of lung function," Rubinstein said. "But our new model should guide researchers to develop novel therapies to treat lung diseases and provide them with biomarkers to track the effectiveness of those therapies."

Doctors also use the term yawn. However, yawning and stretching at the same time is called pandiculation.

They don't. Ants have a completely different respiratory system to humans.

Complete lack of hearing is called deafness. Various causes of deafness are defined by specific medical conditions (e.g. presbycusis - old age hearing loss). The term for less than complete deafness is "hearing impairment".

I had similar pains. It is most likely ligaments stretching as you grow bigger and that creates some pain with some women. But it is always best to get these things checked out by your midwife or doctor.

Yes

say something like "jessica yawned and went up to bed after the long day of fighting robots"

Progesterone from ovulatory cycles (not all hormonal cycling in women is ovulatory).

And Growth Hormone. And fat. And gluteus maximus muscles underlying your buttocks can also make your hips fill out - they're a very powerful pair of muscle (left & right), since they need to help you stand upright against gravity.
