Depressor

Depressor (from Latin deprimere - lower) is a term that is used in anatomy and physiology to designate structures that perform the function of reducing or inhibiting any processes in the body.

1. Depressors are muscles that lower or pull down certain parts of the body. For example, the lower lip depressor (musculus depressor labii inferioris) is a muscle that pulls the lower lip down.

2. Nerves that lower blood pressure are also called depressors. They secrete substances that relax the walls of blood vessels and reduce the force of heart contractions. This leads to slower blood flow and lower blood pressure. Such nerves are part of a complex neurohumoral system for regulating pressure in the body.

Thus, the term "depressor" combines anatomical structures with a similar function of reducing, inhibiting or reducing the intensity of physiological processes.

The depressor (from the Latin depressus - nailed down, crushed, oppressed) is the muscle - the depressor of the lip, the muscle of the depressor of the eyelid and two large branches from the cervical nerve.

In animals, depressants provide the body's natural defenses by directed muscle contraction.

Depressor is... Depressor Depressor (from the Latin depressio - “squeezing, oppression, lowering”) is a word used in various fields such as medicine, anatomy and psychology, and has several meanings:

1. In anatomical terminology: - Muscles that lower any part of the body. For example, the muscle that lowers the lower eyelid is called the depressor labio infernus. In Latin, “depressio” means “to squeeze,” and the word “depressor” is correspondingly translated as “depressor, squeezer.”
