    When are growth hormones secreted? - ProProfs

    When are growth hormones secreted?

    • After dinner

    • During the slow wave sleep

    • At midnight

    • Early in the morning

    Correct Answer
    A. During the slow wave sleep
    Explanation
    Growth hormones are secreted during the slow wave sleep. This is because slow wave sleep is the deepest stage of sleep, during which the body undergoes repair and restoration processes. Growth hormones play a crucial role in stimulating growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration. They are responsible for the growth and development of bones, muscles, and tissues. Therefore, it is during this stage of sleep that the body releases growth hormones to support these essential processes.

    Where do the most pronounced psychological changes in sleep occur? - ProProfs

    Where do the most pronounced psychological changes in sleep occur?

    • In the brain

    • In blood cells

    • In the heart

    • In the kidneys

    Correct Answer
    A. In the brain
    Explanation
    During sleep, the brain goes through various stages and cycles, each with its own distinct patterns of brain activity. These stages include REM (rapid eye movement) sleep and non-REM sleep. It is during these stages that the most pronounced psychological changes occur, such as dreaming, memory consolidation, emotional processing, and restoration of cognitive functions. The brain is responsible for regulating sleep and orchestrating these psychological changes, making it the correct answer.

    What is the slow wave sleep? - ProProfs

    What is the slow wave sleep?

    • It consists of stage 2 of non-rapid eye movement sleep.

    • It consists of stage 4 of non-rapid eye movement sleep.

    • It consists of stage 3 of non-rapid eye movement sleep.

    • It consists of stage 5 of non-rapid eye movement sleep.

    Correct Answer
    A. It consists of stage 3 of non-rapid eye movement sleep.
    Explanation
    Slow wave sleep refers to stage 3 of non-rapid eye movement sleep. This stage is characterized by the presence of slow, high-amplitude brain waves known as delta waves. During this stage, the body is in a deep state of relaxation and it is difficult to wake up. Slow wave sleep is important for physical restoration, as it is during this stage that growth hormone is released, tissue repair occurs, and the immune system is strengthened.

    How are eye movements monitored in sleep psychology? - ProProfs

    How are eye movements monitored in sleep psychology?

    • Through hand writing

    • Through caligraphy

    • Through electroculography

    • Through culography

    Correct Answer
    A. Through electroculography
    Explanation
    Eye movements are monitored in sleep psychology through electroculography. This technique involves placing electrodes near the eyes to measure the electrical activity of the eye muscles. By monitoring these movements, researchers can gain insight into different stages of sleep, such as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is associated with dreaming. Electroculography allows for the accurate measurement and analysis of eye movements during sleep, providing valuable information for understanding sleep patterns and disorders.

    How is skeletal muscle studied in sleep psychology? - ProProfs

    How is skeletal muscle studied in sleep psychology?

    • Through moving lights

    • Through pulsions

    • Through electrocardiography

    • Through electrolites

    Correct Answer
    A. Through electrocardiography
    Explanation
    Skeletal muscle is studied in sleep psychology through electrocardiography. This method involves the measurement of electrical activity in the muscles during sleep. By placing electrodes on the skin, the electrical signals produced by the muscle contractions can be recorded and analyzed. This allows researchers to study muscle activity and movement patterns during different stages of sleep, providing valuable insights into sleep disorders and the overall quality of sleep.

    What is ATP? - ProProfs

    What is ATP?

    • It's the ion used for short-term storage and transport of energy.

    • It's the cell used for short-term storage and transport of energy.

    • It's the molecule used for short-term storage and transport of energy.

    • It's the vitamin used for short-term storage and transport of energy.

    Correct Answer
    A. It's the molecule used for short-term storage and transport of energy.
    Explanation
    ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate, which is a molecule used for short-term storage and transport of energy in cells. It is often referred to as the "energy currency" of the cell because it provides the necessary energy for various cellular processes. ATP is synthesized through cellular respiration and is broken down to release energy when needed by the cell. It plays a crucial role in powering metabolic reactions and is essential for cellular functions.

    How many key physiological methods are used for monitoring and measuring changes during sleep? - ProProfs

    How many key physiological methods are used for monitoring and measuring changes during sleep?

    • 3

    • 4

    • 5

    • 2

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    There are three key physiological methods used for monitoring and measuring changes during sleep. The question is asking for the number of methods, and the answer is 3.

    What's the other name for growth hormone? - ProProfs

    What's the other name for growth hormone?

    • Entancyl

    • Quinine

    • Endorphine

    • Somatotropin

    Correct Answer
    A. Somatotropin
    Explanation
    Somatotropin is the other name for growth hormone. Growth hormone is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration in humans and other animals. It plays a crucial role in regulating growth and development, especially during childhood and adolescence. Somatotropin is responsible for stimulating the growth of bones, muscles, and organs, as well as promoting protein synthesis and metabolism.

    What's the other name for brain waves? - ProProfs

    What's the other name for brain waves?

    • Brain oscillations

    • Neural brain waves

    • Neural oscillations

    • Neural waves

    Correct Answer
    A. Neural oscillations
    Explanation
    Neural oscillations, also known as brain waves, refer to the rhythmic electrical patterns of activity that occur in the brain. These oscillations are generated by the synchronized firing of neurons and play a crucial role in various cognitive processes such as perception, attention, and memory. By studying neural oscillations, researchers can gain insights into how the brain functions and how different brain regions communicate with each other. Therefore, neural oscillations and brain waves are synonymous terms used to describe the same phenomenon.
