Anatomy and Physiology Flashcards
Sleep
What is narcolepsy, and what is the treatment
Falling into deep sleep with no warning. The treatment is anti-depressants
What are night terrors?
Episodes of fear and flailing during sleep.
What is the difference between a nightmare and a night terror?
A night terror is hard to recall and the body isn’t paralyzed.
What is obstructive apnea and what is the treatment.
Obstructive sleep apnea is when something is blocking you from breathing. The treatment is a CPAP machine.
Where is obstructive sleep apnea usually seen
In obese people
What does apnea mean?
To stop breathing during sleep for 20 seconds or more.
What is neurological sleep apnea?
When your brain doesn’t send signals to the body to breath during sleep.
Where is neurological sleep apnea usually seen?
In babies prematurely born.
What is insomnia and when is it said to begin.
The inability to fall asleep and after 30 min of trying to fall asleep
What is the cure for insomnia and why does it help
The cure is get out of bed and journal, because it helps you associate your bed with sleeping only.
What is the name of the dj who set the record for the longest time without going to sleep.
Peter Tripp
How long did Peter Tripp stay awake
8 days
Which brain wave is the 5th fastest and is active during periods of deep sleep?
Delta wave
How long did peter tripp stay asleep after the experiment was over
24 hours
What side effects did he experience after the experiment.
Lost his job
Suicide
Divorce
Which brain wave us the 4th fastest and is active during periods of light sleep?
Theta waves
What is the number one cause of insomnia?
Anxiety and stress
Which brain wave is the fastest and is active during high stress situations such as a test or a sporting event.
Gamma
Which brain wave is the third fastest and is active during periods of relaxation?
Alpha waves
Which brain wave is the second fastest and is active during basic movements?
Beta waves.
What happens in rem sleep
Rapid eye movement
Vivid dreaming
Body is paralyzed
Brain activity is higher than ever
Occurs during stage 4
What are the 5 major brain waves in order?
Gamma
Beta
Alpha
Theta
Delta
What is a parasomnia
A sleep disorder
What is somnambulism
A sleep walker
What is somniloquism
A sleep talker
What does the suffix somnia mean?
Sleep
What does CPAP stand for
Continuous positve airway pressure
What does RLS stand for
Restless Leg Syndrome
What is the treatment for restless leg syndrome?
Muscle relaxers
What is bruxism?
Bruxism is grinding your teeth during sleep.
What is the treatment for Bruxism
A mouth guard
What stage does Bruxism occur
stage 2
What is an EEG and what does it read
Electroencephalogram, and it reads the brains electrical activity.
What is an eog and what does it stand for?
An eog is an electrooculargram and it reads your eye movement during sleep.
What does EMG stand for and what does it read?
Electromyogram, it reads electrical movement of the muscles.
What happens during Stage one of sleep
Theta waves are active, hypnotic myoclonias (where people feel like they are falling during sleep) occur.
What happens during Stage two of sleep
Theta waves are 50 percent of the waves during Stage 2. Body systems slow down. Body temperature drops. Heart rate drops down.
What happens during Stage three of sleep?
Deep sleep occurs. Delta waves appear. Muscle growth occurs. Body systems continue to slow down
What happens during Stage four of sleep?
Delta waves are 50 percent or more of brain waves being released. Body systems are at their lowest. Where REM sleep occurs
Where is an EEG placed?
Right on the temple.
Where is an EOG placed?
Right over the eye
Where is an EMG placed
Right over the jaw
What is the order of increasing complexity
Subatomic particles, Atom, Molecule, Macro-Molecules,
