The term eustress stands for “positive stress,” while dysstress means “negative stress.” Both terms are often mentioned in the context of stress management. Stress is not always harmful to the human organism, but can also register positive effects. What is eustress? The term eustress stands for “positive stress”, while dysstress means “negative stress”. Both terms … Eustress: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The term euthyroidism refers to the normal state of the pituitary-thyroid regulatory circuit, thus assuming adequate hormonal function of the two organs. The regulatory circuit is also called thyrotropic circuit. In various thyroid, pituitary, and hypothalamic diseases, it moves outside euthyroidism. What is euthyroidism? The clinical term euthyroidism refers to the normal state of a … Euthyroidism: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Evaporation is a part of thermoregulation that maintains a constant body temperature in warm-blooded animals. The evaporation process is also known as the evaporation process and is triggered by decreased sympathetic nervous system tone in hot conditions. Increased evaporation is a predisposition also known as hyperhidrosis. What is evaporation? Evaporation maintains human body temperature despite … Evaporation: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Evolution means development. Related to humans, it means the development from animal ancestors through prehumans and early humans to present-day humans. The biological name of the species is Homo sapiens. By a “species” biology understands a community of living beings that can reproduce among themselves. What is evolution? Evolution means development. In relation to humans, … Evolution: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Neurological latency is the time between a stimulus and the stimulus response. It is thus equal in duration to the nerve conduction velocity. In addition, latency in medicine can mean the time between contact with a noxious agent and the first symptoms. Neurological latency is prolonged in demyelination. What is the latency period? Neurological latency … Latency: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Brain lateralization refers to the structural and functional differences between the hemispheres of the cerebrum. Functional differences crystallize a left-hemispheric dominance in language processes. In childhood brain lesions, the hemispheres compensate for the damage entirely. What is brain lateralization? Brain lateralization refers to the structural and functional differences between the hemispheres of the cerebrum. The … Lateralization of the Brain: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Imagination is the term used to describe the power of imagination in humans. We understand by it the ability to let pictures arise before our mental eye. In this context, we often speak of spatial imagination, but it also refers to the imagination of entire episodes. Until Plato (427-347 BC) there was no theory about … Imagination: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Thermoregulation refers to all the regulatory processes involved in maintaining body temperature. Warm-blooded animals maintain a constant temperature, regardless of outside temperatures. The center of thermoregulation is the hypothalamus. What is thermoregulation? Thermoregulation refers to all the regulatory processes involved in maintaining body temperature. Warm-blooded animals must maintain their body temperature because the various systems … Thermal Regulation: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The Euler-Liljestrand mechanism causes contraction of the vascular muscles in the pulmonary tracts when there is an insufficient supply of oxygen, which improves the ventilation-perfusion quotient of the lungs. The mechanism is a natural reflex that involves the lungs exclusively. The Euler-Liljestrand mechanism is pathologic at high altitudes, for example, where it promotes pulmonary edema. … Euler-Liljestrand Mechanism: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The term short-feedback mechanism originates from endocrinology. It refers to a regulatory circuit in which a hormone can directly inhibit its own action. What is the short-feedback mechanism? Short-feedback mechanisms are independent, very small control circuits. One example is the short-feedback mechanism of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The short-feedback mechanism is one of the regulatory circuits. … Short Feedback Mechanism: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The psyche lies in the realm of the invisible, intangible. It is the immaterial core of the individual. It influences what the person feels and can imagine. It is a biomagnetic energy field and is superior to the material body. What is the psyche? The psyche controls the mental and inner life of man, influences … Psyche: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Psychomotricity defines a broad area of interplay between body, mind and spirit. If even one area is disturbed, behavioral deficits as well as movement and perception deficits can occur with varying intensities and effects. What is psychomotor therapy? Psychomotricity defines a broad field of the interaction of body, mind and spirit. Psychomotricity is a branch … Psyche and Movement (Psychomotor): Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
