Q6. During a surgical procedure, an anesthesiologist administers to the patient an inhaled anesthetic agent that opens Cl- channels in the postsynaptic membranes of neurons of the brain. Explain why this would put the patient “to sleep” for the duration of the surgical…
The sex response is an inborn reflex. What stimuli trigger the reflex? What two physiological mechanisms (other than the brain) are responsible for the physical changes that appear during the sexual response? [Hint: One begins with “va” and the other with “my.”] Give examples of the effects of both these two physiological mechanisms.
