Video transcript

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So in which of the following stages of sleep is irregular eeg with lip spindles observed as answer choice A we have N ram stage one B and Ram stage two C and Ram stage 3d and ram stage four. But as it turns out for this question, we're going to be observing N ram stage two. As it turns out, the brain in this stage is going to be exhibiting a combination of the weights, sleep pandal and K complexes. Now, these sleep spindles are going to be short bursts of axillary brain activity in the 11 to 16 Hertz range and are typically going to be observed in an electroencephalogram or eeg during this stage of sleep. But this will make answer choice B and rem stage two. The final answer to this question, I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
