Are effectors which are smooth muscle and glands considered somatic or autonomic reflexes?
somatic
Is the corneal reflex a somatic reflex or an autonomic reflex?
This particular reflex is autonomic as the affected muscle, constrictor pupillae muscle, is a smooth muscle and not under conscious control. Typically if you can consciously contract the muscle, any reflex associated with that muscle is somatic in nature.
What nerves send signals to smooth muscle cardiac muscle and glands?
Autonomic
What innervates involuntary effectors glands smooth or cardiac muscle?
autonomic neurons
What is patellar knee-jerk reflex a somatic or autonomic reflex?
yes, the knee relfex felt when tapped just below the knee cap on the patellar tendon is a somatic reflex which is a contraction of skeletal muscles. the opposite would be autonomic relfexes which consist of contractions of smooth or cardiac muscle or secretion by glands.
Can the autonomic interating centers be influenced by higher brain area?
No, the autonomic nervous system controls smooth muscle, such as organs and some glands.
What are the two subdivisions of the motor subdivision of the peripheral nervous system?
The two subdivisions of the motor subdivision are the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system transmits action potentials from the CNS to skeletal muscle, and the autonomic nervous system transmits action potentials from the CNS to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.
What type of movement does the autonomic system control?
The somatic nervous system regulates skeletal muscle tissue, while the ANS services smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glandular tissue.
How many touch receptors does the human body have?
ImproveTheir are 4 types of reflexes:spinal reflex (knee jerk);cranial reflex (reading);somatic reflexes (involve contraction of skeletal muscles);autonomic (visceral) reflexes (involve responses of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands)
Which muscle is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and most glands
What controls smooth muscle and cardiac muscle?
Autonomic system
What is autonomic motor neurons?
a nerve cell forming part of a pathway along which impulses pass from the brain or spinal cord to a muscle or gland.
