Examples of stimulation in the following topics:
-
- Stimulants are psychoactive drugs that induce temporary improvements in mental and/or physical functions.
- Stimulants exert their effects through a number of different mechanisms.
- Therapeutically, stimulants are used and/or prescribed for a variety of reasons.
- The euphoria produced by some stimulants leads to their recreational use, so many stimulants are either illegal or very carefully controlled in the United States.
- Compare the effects of different types of stimulants on the brain
-
- The male reproductive system is regulated by the production, stimulation, and feedback of specific hormones.
- There it stimulates the synthesis and secretion of the gonadotropins, FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH).
- Follicle Stimulating Hormone is released by the anterior pituitary gland.
- Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates both the production of androgen-binding protein by Sertoli cells, and the formation of the blood-testis barrier.
- It stimulates the sex drive and is the hormone that is associated with aggression.
-
- In both males and females, FSH stimulates gamete production and LH stimulates production of hormones by the gonads.
- It is also called interstitial-cell-stimulating hormone.
- Prolactin stimulates the production of milk by the mammary glands, following childbirth.
- PRH stimulates the release of prolactin, while PIH inhibits it.
- GnRH secreted by the hypothalamus stimulates the release of FSH, which stimulates the growth of egg cells, and LH, which signals for the the ovulation of an egg from its follicle.
-
- A laser is a device that emits monochromatic light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of photons.
- It does so through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of photons.
- The term "laser" originated as an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
- This "induced" decay process is called stimulated emission.
- In stimulated emission, the decaying atom produces an identical "copy" of the incoming photon.
-
- Stretching of the duodenum accentuates vagal reflexes that stimulate the stomach, and peptides and amino acids in the chyme stimulate G cells of the duodenum to secrete more gastrin, which further stimulates the stomach.
- This reduces vagal stimulation of the stomach and stimulates sympathetic neurons, which send inhibitory signals to the stomach.
- Chyme also stimulates duodenal enteroendocrine cells to release secretin and cholecystokinin.
- These hormones primarily stimulate the pancreas and gall bladder, but they also suppress gastric secretion and motility.
- Rather, it is probably more concerned with stimulating insulin secretion in preparation for processing the nutrients about to be absorbed by the small intestine.
-
- A number of endocrine glands release hormones when stimulated by hormones released by other endocrine glands.
- For example, the hypothalamus produces hormones that stimulate the anterior portion of the pituitary gland.
- The anterior pituitary releases the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which then stimulates the thyroid gland to produce the hormones T3 and T4 .
- In some cases, the nervous system directly stimulates endocrine glands to release hormones, which is referred to as neural stimuli.
- The hypothalamus stimulates the anterior pituitary gland, via hormones, to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
-
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)- induces the thyroid to produce hormones that regulate metabolism
- Luteinizing hormone (LH)- in females, triggers ovulation and the development of the corpus luteum; in males, stimulates the production of testosterone
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)-regulates the development, growth, pubertal maturation, and reproductive body processes
- Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH)- stimulates the production and release of melanin by melanocytes in skin and hair; also affects appetite and sexual arousal.
- Oxytocin- stimulates contractions during labor and production of breast milk, also has a role in various behaviors, including orgasm, social recognition, pair bonding, anxiety, and maternal behaviors

- For brands to successfully stimulate consumer demand, they must understand consumer needs and motives.
- Companies are now increasingly focusing on how to stimulate consumer demand and compete for customer loyalty.
- In all cases, the need must be aroused or stimulated to a high enough level so that it can serve as a motive.
- As a result, companies can tailor communications and promotional offers that target identifiable groups and stimulate their continued demand for products and services.
- To stimulate demand, brands must first understand the needs and motives of consumers.
-
- The SA node stimulates the right atria directly, and stimulates the left atria through the Bachmann's bundle.
- The SA node impulses also travel to the AV node, which stimulates ventricular contraction.
- Without autonomic nervous stimulation, it sets the rate of ventricular contraction at 40-60 bpm.
- Certain types of autonomic nervous stimulation will alter the rate of firing in the AV node.
- Sympathetic nervous
stimulation will still increase heart rate, while parasympathetic
nervous stimulation will decrease heart rate, by acting on AV node.
-
- Neural regulation of blood pressure is achieved through the role of cardiovascular centers and baroreceptor stimulation.
- Sympathetic stimulation of the peripheral arterioles will also decrease, resulting in vasodilation.
- This will trigger an increase in sympathetic stimulation of the heart, causing cardiac output to increase.
- It will also trigger sympathetic stimulation of the peripheral vessels, resulting in vasoconstriction.
- These include the limbic system, which links physiological responses to psychological stimuli, chemoreceptor reflexes, generalized sympathetic stimulation, and parasympathetic stimulation.
