This miscommunication‚ so to speak‚ was causing her heart rate to drop and at times‚ stop. She was diagnosed with SSS or “Sick Sinus

To Treat Anxiety Disorders?”‚ Dr. Brian Brennan tells us that benzodiazepines “work by binding to a receptor which is located on neurons in the brain called the (GABA) receptor (see Figure 3).” The GABA receptor‚ as explained before‚ stops certain impulses in the brain that can lead to anxiety attacks. Benzodiazepines help the GABA receptor to work properly and prevent symptoms of anxiety disorders by allowing even more chloride ions into the neuron‚ which makes it even more resistant to

are not possible in the cardiac muscle tissue. a. Cardiac cells have long action potentials and long twitches‚ therefore do not show temporal summation. Act 2 1. Explain the effect that extreme vagus nerve stimulation had on the heart. a. The vagus nerve stimulation caused the heart to flat line restart and react normally. The response after the stimulation that resumed the heart is called the vagal escape. 2. The SA node of the heart is located in the right

in electrical potential associated with the passage of an impulse along the membrane of a muscle cell or nerve cell. An action potential occurs when a neuron sends information down an axon‚ away from the cell body. A threshold is the minimum amount of stimulation needed to start a neural impulse (you know‚ the electrical impulses that travel throughout your body carrying important information). Action potentials generated by neural impulses are "all or nothing‚" meaning the signal reaches the

Sodium and potassium are important within the nervous impulse; without those living organisms would not be able to send an impulse across a nerve‚ therefore we would not be able to survive. This is because‚ for depolarisation to take place‚ firstly there must be a resting potential at -70mv‚ this is acquired by the sodium-potassium pump‚ which pumps

joint. The tight space between this fibrous band and the wrist bone is called the carpal tunnel. The median nerve passes through the carpal tunnel to receive sensations from the thumb‚ index‚ and middle fingers of the hand. Any condition that causes swelling or a change in position of the tissue within the carpal tunnel can squeeze and irritate the median nerve. Irritation of the median nerve in this manner causes tingling and numbness of the thumb‚ index‚ and the middle fingers -- a condition known

Components * There are three parts to the muscular system: * the muscles themselves‚ * nerve tissues and connective tissues. * The connective tissues (tendons) attach the muscles to the skeletal system. * The nerve tissues conduct the electrical impulses that control the muscles. Muscle characteristic * irritability‚: denotes how a muscle responds when it receives an electrical impulse or is damaged * contractibility‚: is how muscles move; they shorten‚ then relax to control
