    Investigating the physiological response of anxiety through general knowledge and math questionnaires‚ with a focus of inducing anxiety through music. The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological effects associated with math anxiety‚ with a further aim to explore this in relation to tense music exposure. It was hypothesised that a maths questionnaire would produce a significantly higher anxiety response than a general knowledge questionnaire. It was also hypothesised that exposure

    Hypotension In physiology and medicine‚ hypotension is abnormally low blood pressure‚ especially in the arteries of the systemic circulation. It is best understood as a physiological state‚ rather than a disease. It is often associated with shock‚ though not necessarily indicative of it. Hypotension is the opposite of hypertension‚ which is high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. If it is lower than normal

    Eliciting (Generating) a Nerve Impulse 1. Why don’t the terms depolarization and action potential mean the same thing? Depolarization has to do with surfaces becoming more negative or positive and reaches a certain point called a threshold. When the threshold is reached‚ an action potential is initiated. 2. What was the threshold voltage in Activity 1? The threshold voltage in Activity 1 was 3.0. 3. What was the effect of increasing the voltage? How does this change correlate to changes

    LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION OF NERVOURS SYSTEM: NEURONS: * STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION: Specialized cell transmitting nerve impulses; a nerve cell. Neurons have specialized projections called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring information to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body. Neurons communicate with each other through an electrochemical process. Information is transmitted to the receiving cell at junctions via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. At this juncture
