The mammalian diving reflex refers to an adaptive characteristic that permits the mammals to stay underwater for an elongated duration of time. It is more noticeable in aquatic mammals, however, is weaker in mammals like humans.  

This reflex is initiated when the face encounters with cold water. The initial influence is bradycardia in which the rate of the heart slows down up to 25 percent. There is peripheral vasoconstriction that comprises a reduction in the supply of blood to the arms and legs, and the supply upsurges towards the brain.  

It can be stated that in humans, it is not an evolutionary vestige, but yes it is not much amended as aquatic mammals due to their terrestrial habitat.

One of the many tests done during urodynamic studies is the sphincter electromyelogram. What does this test study
eduard

One of the many tests done during urodynamic studies is the sphincter electromyelogram. This test studies activity of the voluntary muscles of the perineal area.

  • Patients with urine incontinence or other symptoms of the lower urinary tract can be diagnosed with urodynamic testing.
  • Both men and women take these examinations. Nerve and muscle function are measured by urodynamic testing.
  • Clinically, perineal sphincter electromyography may be helpful in assessing individuals with bowel, urinary, and sexual dysfunction.
  • All patients with a history and clinical examination that point to a central or peripheral sacral neuropathic lesion should be given this option.
  • The pudendal nerve innervates the external sphincter (EAS), which is the best muscle for identifying neuropathic lesions in lower sacral myotomes.
