A deficiency of dopamine is responsible for the signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease is characterized by gradual degeneration of neurons in a section of the brain. In normal conditions, these neurons release a chemical substance known as dopamine which is important for the brain.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter which facilitates communication amongst different parts of the brain that is responsible for smooth muscle activity and proper nerve operation.

Parkinson’s disease is a disorder generally associated with uncontrollable movements like tremors, rigidity as well as problems linked with maintaining body balance and coordination. Symptoms generally develop slowly and intensify over the period.

People may experience trouble in walking and talking with the advancement of the disease. The patients may also exhibit mental as well as behavioral alterations, sleep trouble, depression, memory problems and lethargy.

Why does the reporter have a tube up his nose? why does the reporter have a tube up his nose? to replace the salts and other ion

Helga [31]

The correct answer is to accurately measure core temperature.
The tube seen entering the reporter's nose is a thermistor which is used to measure the core temperature of the body with very high levels of accuracy. The tube reaches the esophagus, which is one of the most preferred locations for measuring the core temperature.
The core body temperature is the operating temperature of the human body and it refers to the temperature of the deeper structures of the body instead of the peripheral tissues.
The esophagus is close to the left ventricle of the heart, it has a deep body location and a quick response to any changes in the body temperature.
