Polyvagal theory views the parasympathetic nervous system as being split into two distinct branches: a "ventral vagal system" which supports social engagement, and a "dorsal vagal system" which supports immobilisation behaviours, both "rest and digest" and defensive immobilisation or "shutdown". [14]
The SE therapy concepts such as "dorsal vagal shutdown" with bradycardia that are used to describe "freeze" and collapse states of trauma patients are controversial since it appears the ventral vagal branch, not the dorsal vagal branch, mediates this lowered heart rate and blood pressure state.
English: A video example of penile-vaginal intercourse between a man and a woman in the woman on top or “cowgirl” position, including ejaculation inside the vagina. Date 20 October 2020
The sleeping position is the body configuration assumed by a person during or prior to sleeping. Six basic sleeping positions have been identified: [dubious – discuss] Fetus (41%) – curling up in a fetal position. This was the most common position, and is especially popular with women. Log (15%) – lying on one's side with the arms down ...
The dorsal nucleus of vagus nerve (or posterior nucleus of vagus nerve or dorsal vagal nucleus or nucleus dorsalis nervi vagi or nucleus posterior nervi vagi) [1] is a cranial nerve nucleus of the vagus nerve (CN X) situated in the medulla oblongata of the brainstem ventral to the floor of the fourth ventricle.
It is increased in supine position and decreased in prone position, and is on average higher and more pronounced during the day as compared to the night. [22] RSA has also been extensively used to quantify vagal tone withdrawal in graded orthostatic tilt. [7] [25] Typically, expression of RSA decreases with age. [26]
Swimming is one of those athletic endeavors that soothes the mind while building muscle in a low-impact, easy-on-the-injuries way. It happens to be a sport that’s ideal for seniors, and once ...
A vagal maneuver is an action used to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system by activating the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is the longest nerve of the autonomic nervous system and helps regulate many critical aspects of human physiology, including heart rate, blood pressure, sweating, and digestion through the release of acetylcholine .
