It is through desire that the most important, non-essential needs of the human being come to the surface. Although these may not seem vital, humans can tie the success of their existence to the satisfaction of these needs. Disregard or failure to satisfy the desire may result in long-term consequences that burden the human being. … Desire: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
When reading, the eyes do not move continuously from left to right across the text, but rather jerkily (saccadically) from gaze target to gaze target. In 15 to 20 percent of saccades, a backward saccade, regression, is performed – usually unconsciously – because the text was not fully understood or because the eyes jumped a … Regression of the Eyes: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
It is known that the pupil changes as soon as it is confronted with high or low light exposure. The effect occurs, for example, when someone comes out of bright daylight into a dark room. In this way, the eye always adapts to its environment. This is the pupillary reflex, also known as light or … Pupillary Reflex: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The position sense or position sense is one of three perceptual qualities of interoceptive depth sensitivity. This sense provides permanent information about joint positions and the current body position in space. In cerebellar lesions and spinal cord lesions, the position sense may be impaired, causing ataxia. What the the sense of position? The position sense … Position Sense: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Coordination is understood as the interaction of different control, perception and motor elements. It is important for an orderly human movement process. What is coordination? Coordination is understood as the interaction of different control, perception and motor elements. It is important for an orderly human movement sequence. Movement and exercise sciences classify movement coordination as … Coordination: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
All perceptions from within one’s own body are summarized as introception. Introception regulates one’s own well-being and encompasses the proprioception of the locomotor and postural apparatus as well as the visceroception of the internal organs. Excessive introception can trigger anxiety disorders. What is introception? Interoception works with specialized sensory cells and transmits the information obtained … Interoception: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Pacing potential is the action potential of the pacemaker cells in the heart. It is a prerequisite for a regular heartbeat and thus elementary for cardiac function. What is the pacemaker potential? Pacing potential is the action potential of the pacemaker cells in the heart. The normal heart rate at rest in a healthy person … Pacemaker Potential: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Character is the nature of a person and determines how they act, what they dream about, and what they fear. Modern medicine localizes character to the neural circuitry of the frontal brain region. Therefore, in the degenerative decay of these regions in the context of Alzheimer’s disease, for example, there is also talk of ego … Character: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Filtering determines which perceptual content reaches the thinking consciousness. Based on their perceptual memory and experience, each person has both culturally determined and personal filters. In people with psychosis, the brain‘s filters are more blurred than in the average person. What is filtering? Filtering determines what perceptual content reaches the thinking consciousness. Humans, by and … Filtering: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The spatial sense enables humans to orient themselves spatially. This orientation ability is an interaction of different sensory organs and can be trained to a certain extent. Poor spatial orientation does not necessarily have to be associated with disease value. What is spatial orientation? The spatial sense enables humans to orient themselves spatially. This orientation … Spatial Orientation (Spatial Sense): Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Definition The stable lateral position is a standard position in which an independently breathing but unconscious or unconscious person should be used to prevent the inhalation of foreign bodies (aspiration). Unconscious persons are particularly at risk of aspiration because the body’s own protective reflexes, such as the cough reflex, fail. The stable lateral position should … Stable lateral position
Stable lateral position for children/babies There should be no shyness if the unconscious person is suddenly a child or even a baby. In fact, any position is better than the supine position, because in this position the tongue can fall far back and the person affected can choke on the tongue or stomach contents. Babies … Stable lateral position for children/babies | Stable lateral position
