With Correct Answers
Consciousness includes what three things? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | |
Level of mental alertness
| | |
Awareness
Attention
What are the four wave forms? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Alpha Beta,
| | | | | | | | | |
Delta, Theta |
Which wave form is involved in deep sleep? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | | | |
Delta wave at a frequency of 1⁄2 to 4 cycles per second represent the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
deepest stage of sleep. | | |
Facts about REM Sleep - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Dreams occur during
| | | | | | | | |
REM. People are oblivious that they are dreaming & usually forget the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
dream. Some people are Lucid dreamers and can influence theme,

, Circadian Rhythm, Where is it located? 24-25 hour cycle, differs in
| | | | | | | | | | |
absence of natural light, with alarm clocks. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | | |
Suprachiasmic Nucleus of the Hypothalamus. | | | |
What is the role of the Reticular Activating system? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Primary mechanism for turning REM sleep on & off. Also | | | | | | | | |
Maintains cortical arousal. | |
Arises from deep within the brain stem.
| | | | | |
Stimulates brain via projections into many different neurology systems
| | | | | | | | |
in the cortex.
| |
Stimulation that finally reaches the occipital cortex gives rise to dream
| | | | | | | | | | |
images & the corresponding rapid REM characteristics of this stage.
| | | | | | | | |
**Many REM sleep occurrences have brain stem mechanisms.**
| | | | | | |
Tell me about Sleep Paralysis and Motor Neurons.. - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-"sleep paralysis" occurs because it is simply to dangerous | | | | | | | | |
to act out dreams.
| | |
**The motor Neurons responsible for actually carrying out the action
| | | | | | | | | | |
are "turned off" at the level of the spinal cord.**
| | | | | | | | |
At the end of which wave cycle is sleep physically restorative? -
| | | | | | | | | | | |
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-**Scientist know that delta wave sleep is
| | | | | | | |
physically restorative.** |
