Onde longitudinaleLongitudinal waves are waves in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels and displacement of the medium is in the same (or opposite) direction of the wave propagation. Mechanical longitudinal waves are also called compressional or compression waves, because they produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium, and pressure waves, because they produce increases and decreases in pressure.
S waveNOTOC In seismology and other areas involving elastic waves, S waves, secondary waves, or shear waves (sometimes called elastic S waves) are a type of elastic wave and are one of the two main types of elastic body waves, so named because they move through the body of an object, unlike surface waves. S waves are transverse waves, meaning that the direction of particle movement of a S wave is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, and the main restoring force comes from shear stress.
MélatonineLa mélatonine ou N-acétyl-5-méthoxytryptamine, souvent dénommée hormone du sommeil, est la molécule principale de la glande pinéale surtout connue comme étant l'hormone centrale de régulation des rythmes chronobiologiques en étant synthétisée surtout la nuit. Elle régule de nombreuses sécrétions hormonales, chez l'humain et les autres mammifères. Cette neurohormone est synthétisée à partir d'un neurotransmetteur, la sérotonine, qui dérive elle-même du tryptophane.
