What controls reflex actions?
spinal cordautotomicspinal cord in the central nervous system controls reflex arc and reflex action.
Which human body systems are directly involved in reflex actions such as knee jerk blinking and jumping when startled?
Nervous system and Muscular system usually. For some, the Sensory system, a part of the Nervous system, also has to do with reflexes.
What is the primary reflex center for the body?
Nervous system
What is the path that nervous impulse takes through the nervous system?
sensory neurone --> enters spinal cord --> relay neurone --> brain(is not a reflex action) or motor neurone(if action is reflex)
What division of the autonomic nervous system mediates the reflex release of saliva?
The parasympathetic nervous system stimulates salivary gland secretion, and accelerates peristalsis, so, in keeping with the rest and digest functions, appropriate PNS activity mediates digestion of food and indirectly, the absorption of nutrients. Source: Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomic_nervous_system enteric nervous system is responsible for the pupillary light reflex
Which human body system directly involved in reflex actions such as knee jerk blinking and jumping when startled?
nervous and muscular

What is the nervous system responsible of doing?
The nervous center has many functions. It's main function is to control your reflex actions and it gives you your sense of touch.
What is the arc refers to simple nerve pathway that would be involved with invoulntary actions?
Reflex Arc
Why don't fish have reflex actions?
Fish do have reflex actions.
Is the brain involved in a reflex arc?
yes brain i s involved in reflex actions as it makes a pathway for sensory neuron to connect with and brain then directs the motor neuron to take a particular action which is given by effector !(muscles)
Why is the patellar reflex called a somatic reflex?
The Patellar reflex is an example of a somatic reflex. This refers to the branch of the nervous system that the reflex pertains to. The somatic branch is part of the Peripheral Nervous system, meaning that it's reflex arc does not pass through the central nervous system (the spinal cord and the brain)
If the doctor swabs the back of your throat and you gag is this somatic or autonomic reflexes?
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.
The pupillary light reflex is control by what autonomic nervous system?
pupillary light reflex is controlled by parasympathetic branch of Autonomous nervous system
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.
Which actions are not controlled by the brain?
Reflex actions are not controlled by the brain.
