Why is the reaction important the certain situations?
The instinctive reaction is important because it takes time for signals to travel all the way to the brain and elicit a response - sending a message up the spinal cord takes time. Reflexes cause the body to automatically respond without waiting.
What is response time in real time system and What is the difference between response time and execution time in real time system?
response time is the time in which our system respond us back, i.e. the system gives us the result of our input at what rate.. and execution time is the time taken by the system to complete the input... if the response time of our system is high then the performance of the system is not accurate..
Why brain is not involve during reflex actions?
A reflex action or reflex arc bypasses the brain as to decrease transmission time from detection to response, i.e. the time it takes for the body to initiate a response in relation to the effecting stimulus. This decrease in time allows for minimal damage to tissue or surrounding cells which may be affected by a certain stimulus.
What is a protective reflex that also overrides the spinal pathways and prevents any other reflexes from using them at the same time?
Flexor Reflex
What is the premotor phase of reaction time?
The time it takes from recognizing a stimulus to the initiation of a muscle response (the muscle response can be recorded using an EMG).
What factors affect reflexes?
Several factors can affect reflexes, including the speed of stimulus, strength of stimulus, health status of the individual, and the age of the individual. Additionally, fatigue, stress, and certain medications can also impact reflexes.
What drug can significantly slow down reflexes and increase reaction time?
yes I am a doctor
Why is it that the reaction times to impaired drivers often doubles in response to situations on the road?
Your response time to a situation is determined by your ability to recognize a situation and in reflexes, in short a cognitive response followed by a motoric response. Decreased visibility and lessened ability to retain concentration probably account for the increased response time of impaired drivers.
Does alcohol speeds your reflexes and reaction time?
Exactly the opposite. It SLOWS your reflexes and reaction times.
What type of response time is necessary to increase the probability of arrest at the scene?
one minute or less
How does sleep affect your reflexes?
Although sleep is not fully understood by scientists, their is evidence of sleep deprivation affecting reflex reaction time. Sleep deprivation affects the cortical responsiveness to incoming stimuli and also causes an increase in the levels of adenosine which is a neuromodulator and has a general inhibitory effect on neural activity. Thus due to the increase in adenosine, the neural activity and response time is greatly affected due to lack of sleep.
Are cell phones a distraction to teendrivers?
It depends on the teen, most of the time yes. It could also be a distraction to anyone. It depends on how responsible they are.
Is reaction time a skill?
No. It is a measure of time between stimulus and response. While muscle memory and experience can improve performance, nothing will increase your base reaction time.
How good are the reflexes of baby elephants?
the reflexes of a baby elephant are not as good as an adults because the baby is not as formed as an adult, however an elephants general reflexes are slowed as the nervous system is longer extending the reaction time.
Why is the reflex reaction important in certain situations?
Without an automatic response to a simple stimulus which does not require mental processing, a human being would not be able to react to its' own functions being harmed in any way. Example: Skin contact with fire, without a response to the flame, your skin would burn.
Why is the reaction important the certain situations?
The instinctive reaction is important because it takes time for signals to travel all the way to the brain and elicit a response - sending a message up the spinal cord takes time. Reflexes cause the body to automatically respond without waiting.
How does the nervous muscluar and skeletal system help with reflexes?
