A. Cortisol. Cortisol is made by your adrenal glands in response to your body perceiving stress. Cortisol will increase your blood pressure and heart rate.

[Brain in Motion Team @BRAININMOTION]

Which of the following in a major stress hormone? #physiologyfriday2021 #physiologyfriday #iamaphysiologist #physiologyfridaytrivia @physoc
a.Cortisol
b.Dopamine
c.Glucose
d.Vitamin D

[Brain in Motion Team @BRAININMOTION]

D. During Stress. The sympathetic nervous system allows your body to reflexively react to dangerous or stressful situations. It is the same system that is activated during a “fight or flight” response

[Brain in Motion Team @BRAININMOTION]

When in the sympathetic nervous system active? #physiologyfriday2021 #physiologyfriday #iamaphysiologist #physiologyfridaytrivia @physoc
a.During rest
b.During sleep
c.During eating
d.During stress

[Brain in Motion Team @BRAININMOTION]

C. Neurons. Neurons are capable of using eclectic impulses and chemical signals to send information around the brain.

[Brain in Motion Team @BRAININMOTION]

What are the cells in our brain that are responsible for communicating information? #physiologyfriday2021 #physiologyfriday #iamaphysiologist #physiologyfridaytrivia @physoc
a.Myocytes
https://t.co/1SNs6kbD7n blood cells
c.Neurons
d.Rods and Cones

[Brain in Motion Team @BRAININMOTION]

B. Arteries deliver oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body, while veins deliver deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

[Brain in Motion Team @BRAININMOTION]

?? deliver oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body, while ?? deliver deoxygenated blood back to the heart. #physiologyfriday2021 #physiologyfriday #iamaphysiologist #physiologyfridaytrivia @physoc
a.Veins, arteries
b.Arteries, veins
c.Capillaries, arteries

[Brain in Motion Team @BRAININMOTION]

C. 20%! Even though your brain is only about 2% of your overall mass, it takes up 20% of the total energy your body uses.

[Brain in Motion Team @BRAININMOTION]

How much of the energy that your body uses needs to go to your brain? #physiologyfriday2021 #physiologyfriday #iamaphysiologist #physiologyfridaytrivia @physoc
a.2%
b.5%
c.20%
d.50%

[Brain in Motion Team @BRAININMOTION]

D. A and B! The melatonin found in cheese and warm milk signals your brain that it is time to sleep.

[Brain in Motion Team @BRAININMOTION]

What is a great snack before bed#physiologyfriday2021 #physiologyfriday #iamaphysiologist #physiologyfridaytrivia @physoc
a.Cheese
b.Warm Milk
