A reflex arc is a neutral pathway in the central nervous system. It controls reflex action. The sensory neurons do not directly pass into brain but go through spinal chord. Spinal chord can independently control many reflexes.
The spinal cord controls reflexes. When a sensory stimulus is detected, the signal is sent to the spinal cord, which then produces a reflex action without needing input from the brain. This allows for quick responses to potential threats or dangers.
The brain belongs to the central nervous system, which also includes the spinal cord. This division is responsible for processing and interpreting information received from the peripheral nervous system.
The brainstem, located at the base of the brain, plays a key role in controlling the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary functions like heart rate and breathing. Specifically, regions such as the medulla oblongata and the pons are crucial for coordinating these functions.
Reflexes are typically innate and automatic responses to stimuli in the environment. While some reflex-like behaviors can be modified through learning and conditioning, the core reflexes are usually hardwired in the nervous system.
The spinal cord is primarily responsible for controlling reflexes. When a stimulus is detected by sensory neurons, the spinal cord sends a quick response through motor neurons to initiate a reflex action without involving the brain.
The peripheral nervous system refers to the network of nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. It is responsible for transmitting information between the central nervous system and the rest of the body, controlling voluntary movements and involuntary functions.
In humans, the nervous system performs the following functions: note: a small basic list is provided. In reality, the nervous system is capable of doing much more The central nervous system: * controls the beating of the heart * is in control of peristaltic movements * is in control of bowel movemets * is in control of reflexes The peripheral nervous system: controls all voulentary muscles in the body
There area few reflexes when coming to a newborn. The main reflex would be the central nervous system.

How does the repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system? How does the repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system? We can help our nervous systems by improving our reflexes
The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord. It controls behaviors in the body.
The Central Nervous System
The gag reflex is an involuntary reflex, therefore it is an autonomic reflex. The peripheral nervous system is the part of the nervous system outside the central nervous system (which consists of the brain and spinal cord). The peripheral nervous system is split into two parts - the somatic nervous system and the autonomic system. The somatic system controls voluntary skeletal muscle movements and the autonomic system controls involuntary or automatic actions.
Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System
The central nervous system is the part of the nervous system that controls all body activities, but it could not work without the peripheral nervous system.
The central nervous system controls reflexs
It controls the action of central nervous system.
Peripheral System is a division of the Nervous System. They have 2 types of cells. The sensory nervous cells carry information to the central nervous system; and the motor nervous cells carry information from the central nervous system. The Peripheral System is also divided into the somatic nervous system (controls the voluntary muscles) and the automatic nervous system (controls involuntary muscles).
