Shivering occurs when the core temperature of the body begins to decrease which would threaten normal body function. Shivering is a response by the body to bring back temperature back to homeostasis. Trembling is the continual involuntary contraction of muscles. Muscle activity releases heat that warms up the body. This is the reason why we sweat during physical activities as the body sheds excess heat generated by the muscles in order to maintain the homeostatic body temperatures of 37 degrees centigrade.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

The answers are c)are the most reinforcing, generate the greatest immediate sensual appeal, and produce the most powerful psychological dependence.

Explanation:

Like all psychoactive substances, amphetamines affect the central nervous system and have stimulating effects (empathy, sensuality, confusion, etc.), producing an alert state along with various reactions in perception. Some individuals also report optical and auditory illusions. On many occasions this is also favored by the existence of intense visual and auditory stimuli, as happens for example at parties. However, most of these desired effects have tolerance with repeated doses of the same substances and even cross tolerance with doses of other substances. With the appearance of this tolerance other effects appear such as aggressiveness, anxiety symptoms, panic attacks, etc.

Among the medical complications related to the use of these substances, acute neurological complications, seizures and cerebrovascular diseases stand out.

Use the following terms to describe in detail how you visually perceive an object that you can see right now.

Answer: To see for example an apple first light that passes through the pupil is eventually reflected on the pupil, activating neurons in the retina. light waves that were reflected off the apple are changed into neural impulses (transduction) at the point of the retina, where neurons fire in response to light waves. Action potentials are released when neurons fire, sending an electrical charge through the neuron. Excitatory neurotransmitters are released when the action potential reaches the axon terminal, and that these neurotransmitters increase the chances that the next neuron will fire. Of course the neural message from the retina first passes through the thalamus, and then the thalamus routes the impulse elsewhere in the brain.

I hope it helps, Regards.
