What part of the brain mediates BOTH voluntary and involuntary functions?
The Pons
What types of reflexes does the brain control?
all of them!
What area of the brain controls auditory reflexes?
midbrain
What part of the brain controls involuntary process?
reflexes
What is the superficial cord reflex?
Superficial cord reflexes are the reflexes that happen when the body is exposed to pain. Superficial cord reflexes are centered in the spinal cord not the brain.
Which portion of the human brain mediates simple reflexes such as sneezing coughing and salivating?
The medulla oblongata is a part of the brain stem involved in these reflexes. And no your eyes will not pop out if you sneeze with them open. Closing the eyes is part of the reflex and you have no control over reflexes.
Does the spinal cord serve as the center for sub-conscious thought or reflex action or habits or synapses?
The spinal cord serves as the center for reflexes. Reflexes don't enter the brain and all, which is a good thing because it is too slow for reflexes to work to protect us from harm.
What digestive system reflexes that involve the brain are called?
Long reflexes
What part of the brain mediates BOTH voluntary and involuntary functions?
The Pons
What part of the brain controls reflexes?
Midbrain in the Brain Stem
Why do more complex reflexs have slower response times?
Reflexes are automatic, involuntary responses or impulses. Most reflexes do not involve the brain, however, more complex reflexes have to involve the brain in order to process the reflexes. An example of this would be blinking the eye. This is a complex reflex and it must involve the brain. Also, you must take in the place the reason why reflexes do not involve the brain: because it could cause serious damage to the body. Complex reflexes will not cause serious damage if it uses to brain to produce the impulse.
What are the main two divisions of the CNS?
The main two divisions of the central nervous system (CNS) are the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is responsible for processing and integrating information, while the spinal cord primarily serves as a conduit for communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
What part of the brain that controls reflexes?
cerebellum
Are Reflexes carried to the brain.?
They are. The previous answer is wrong
What types of reflexes does the brain control?
all of them!
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).
The messages involved in automatic reflexes are coordinated by reflex centers in the brain?
brain
