Reflex that control skeletal muscle are called?
Somatic Reflex
How are somatic and autonomic reflexes similar and how are they different?
An autonomic reflex is one that involves the response of an organ, such as the peristaltic contraction of the smooth muscle of the intestines, that is not controlled consciously. Somatic reflexes involve a response that involves a skeletal muscle contraction in response to a stimuli. Sensory nerves send signals through an afferent pathway to the central nervous system for processing. If a quick response is needed, the spinal cord will send out a signal back out the efferent pathway to the appropriate skeletal muscle. The signal is also sent up the spinal cord to the brain for further processing. This 'splitting' of the signal allows the reflex to happen quicker than if the signal were sent only to the brain for processing before a response could be initiated. The autonomic reflex is associated with one branch of the peripheral nervous system that regulates the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions; these include internal organs and glands. A somatic reflex is part of the other branch of the peripheral nervous system that controls skeletal muscle movements, including the reflexes, like the knee jerk test that a doctor would give you.
What is corneal reflex somatic?
yes it is somatic
What is the final result in 1n somatic cell?
Genetically identical 1n somatic cells are the final result of the mitosis of a 1n somatic cell. Somatic comes from the Greek word soma, meaning body.
What type of reflexes are not subject to conscious control?
Autonomic reflexes
How do reflexes involve in muscular system?
somatic
Reflex that control skeletal muscle are called?
Somatic Reflex
Are effectors which are smooth muscle and glands considered somatic or autonomic reflexes?
somatic
What reflexes classified as somatic reflexes?
There are 5 somatic reflexes, stretch (spinal), crossed extensor (spinal), superficial cord (spinal), corneal (cranial), and gag (cranial).Involuntary automatic responses to sensory stimulation, for example, the knee-jerk reaction when tapped.Note: Reflexes, such as the contraction / dilation of the pupil, salivation when hungry are all controlled by autonomic reflexes.
Are smooth muscle reflexes somatic?
No, they are visceral and from the efferent or motor neurons.
Is a gag reflex a somatic reflex?
No, a somatic reflex are the reflexes of the skeletal muscle movements. The gag reflex is considered to be an autonomic reflex.
Name two somatic reflexes in which the higer brain centers participate?
The Human Reflex Physiology Review Sheet states that "Conversely, other reflexes require the involvement of the brain, since many different inputs must be evaluated before the appropriate reflex is determined. Superficial cord reflexes and pupillary responses to light are in this category" (p. 342).
Reflexes classified as somatic reflexes include?
A. abdominal reflex B. Achilles jerk D. corneal reflex E. crossed extensor reflex F. gag reflex G. patellar reflex H. plantar reflex
What are two somatic reflexes in which the higher brain centers participate?
The Human Reflex Physiology Review Sheet states that "Conversely, other reflexes require the involvement of the brain, since many different inputs must be evaluated before the appropriate reflex is determined. Superficial cord reflexes and pupillary responses to light are in this category" (p. 342).
What qualities do you feel a defensive driver should possess?
Good vision Alertness Quick Reflexes Attention to detail Patience
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)
What nervous system allows us to respond to the external environment?
i believe it is the "Somatic" Nervous System. Since the Somatic is Voluntary and all. The Somatic is the part of the Nervous System that is responsible for consciousness movement and action. However, some systems in the Somatic are still involuntary, like reflexes. The Somatic Nervous System is part of the Peripheral Nervous System.
