What is a synapse in a simple reflex action?
The synapse is where when the signals from the receptors gets to the brain and needs to jump across its releases chemicals that carry the signals across.
Why does reflex reinforcement work?
Instead of being processed in the brain, a reflex arc is processed in the vertebra, this allows for faster reflexes. Example of when the reflex arc is used is when a person touches a hot stove. The immediate response (which the reflex arc causes) is to pull away, but it doesn't really hurt till a few seconds after. This is because the brain was first bypassed, but has now had time to process what happened.
Which component of a reflex arc is located entirely within the central nervous system?
Many authors refer to the CNS portion of the reflex arc as the integration center.In regards to a monosynaptic reflex arc, the synapse is the only portion of the integration center.Polysynaptic reflex arcs, have multiple synapses and interneuron(s).
What are reflex arcs and reflex actions?
The reflex arc is the nerve pathway that the signal follows. For example, the knee jerk reflex arc has a stimulus going to an interneuron in the spine and a motor neuron completes the arc by causing the knee to jerk. A reflex is just the action itself.
Is writing a reflex action?
what is writing reflexes

In a three neuron reflex arc the afferent neurons synapse with?
The afferent neurons synapse with the interneuron.
A reflex pathway having only one synapse in the CNS?
Reflexes are rapid involuntary responses to a given stimuli. The reflex pathway that only has one synapse in the CNS is called the monosynaptic reflex arc.
Which is the name for a quick unlearned and automatic response A impulse B synapse C reflex?
C reflex
Is sweating a reflex action?
No it is not a reflex action
Why is response time in a monosynaptic reflex much faster than response time in a polysynaptic reflex?
Transmission across a chemical synapse always involves a synaptic delay, but with only one synapse (a monosynaptic reflex), the delay between stimulus and response is minimized. In a polysynaptic reflex, the length of delay is proportional to the number of synapses involved.
What is the relationship between the action potential and the synapse?
A synapse and an action potential have a flip-flopping cause and effect relationship, in that an action potential in a presynaptic neuron initiates a release of neurotransmitters across a synapse, which can then subsequently potentially trigger an action potential in the axon of the postsynaptic neuron, which would then cause release of neurotransmitters across a following synapse.

What is a difference between reflex and voluntary action?
The difference between reflex and voluntary action is that a reflex occurs naturally in response to some sort of stimulus and voluntary action is something that is consciously carried out. An example of a reflex action is gagging and an example of voluntary action is flinching when someone is going to hit you.
The action potential causes neurotransmitters to be released into the?
synapse
What is the difference between conscious action and reflex action?
Conscious action is a voluntary action that is controlled by the brain and involves awareness and decision-making, such as raising your hand. Reflex action is an involuntary action that is controlled by the spinal cord and occurs without conscious thought, such as quickly pulling your hand away from a hot surface.
How is a reflex action different from a action by hormines?
Reflex action is the instant reaction of our body while hormonial action takes more time to react
