Module 05 - SLEEP AND REST Flashcards
Sleep provides?
Healing and Restoration
cyclical physiological process that alternates with longer periods
of wakefulness
Sleep
It influences and regulates physiological
function and behavioral responses
Sleep-wake cycle
This are when people experience cyclical rhythms as part of their everyday lives
CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS
This is known as the most familiar rhythm is the 24-hour, day-night cycle
DIURNAL OR CIRCADIAN RHYTHM
What is SCN
suprachiasmatic nucleus nerve cells
Is in the hypothalamus control the rhythm of the sleep-wake cycle and coordinate this cycle with other circadian rhythms
suprachiasmatic nucleus
(SCN) nerve cells
What are the two Circadian rhythms that influences?
Major Biological
Behavioral Functions
What are the examples of predictable changing in 24-hour circadian cycle?
Body temperature
Heart Rate
Blood pressure
Hormone secretion
Sensory Acuity
Mood (depend on the maintenance of 24 hr)
What are the factors the affect circadian rhythms and daily sleep-wake cycle?
Light
Temperature
Social Activities
Work routines
What does people have that synchronize their sleep cycles?
biological clocks
Examples of Sleep cycle disturbances?
Anxiety, restlessness, irritability,
and impaired judgment
In Sleep Regulation, sleep involves a sequence of physiological states maintained by highly integrated_____
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS)
what parts that will associated with the changes of sleep regulations?
peripheral nervous
endocrine
cardiovascular
respiratory
muscular systems
It measures electrical activity in the cerebral cortex
Electroencephalogram (EEG)
It measures muscle tone
Electromyogram (EMG)
It measures eye movements, provide
information about some structural physiological aspects of sleep
Electrooculogram (EOG)
This is the major sleep center of the body
Hypothalamus
It is secretes to promote wakefulness
Hypocretins (orexins) and
located in the upper brainstem contains special cells that maintain alertness and wakefulness.
(ascending) Reticular Activating System
(RAS)
What stimuli does RAS receive?
visual, auditory,
pain, and tactile sensory stimuli.
Neurotransmitter have Arousal, wakefulness and maintenance of consciousness result from neurons in the RAS releasing catecholamines
norepinephrine
