What term describes a quick spontaneous automatic response to a stimulus that does not involve thinking about it?
The term reflex or phrase reflex action describes a quick spontaneous automatic response to a stimulus that does not involve thinking about it. It is controlled through the brain, but does not require thought.
How many synapses are crossed in a single reflex arc during a muscle stretch reflex?
one
How does the mechanoreceptor reflex effect breathing?
The mechanoreceptor reflex is composed of the inflation reflex and the deflation reflex. The inflation reflex limits the duration of inspiration in response to stretching the walls of the lungs. The deflation reflex stimulates inspiration when the lungs are collapsed. Mechanoreceptor reflexes are insignificant during quiet respiration but they are very important during forced respiration. The mechanoreceptor reflex makes sure your brain knows when to stop breathing and start breathing, basically.
What is the name of the reflex associated with the sensory stimulation of the pulmonary stretch receptors that stimulates a deeper breath upon inspiration?
The reflex associated with the sensory stimulation of the pulmonary stretch receptors is known as the Hering-Breuer reflex. It is responsible for inhibiting inspiration to prevent overinflation of the lungs, promoting expiration and maintaining normal breathing patterns.
What respond to a stimulus that does not involve the brain?
It is called a reflex and does not involve the brain, but instead, the spinal cord. So, in effect, the spinal cord can also 'think' and process information, though not quite the level of complexity as the brain, especially the cerebral cortex. But, that is a good thing. If I touch a hot stove, my spinal cord will send out a signal to pull my hand off well before my 'brain' feels the heat. There is a lot of survival value to reflex arcs that are essential to survival that do not include the brain.
What type of reflex does not involve the brain?
A spinal reflex does not involve the brain. This type of reflex is controlled by the spinal cord and does not require the brain to initiate a response. Examples include the knee-jerk reflex and the withdrawal reflex.
What is a automatic action that does not involve the brain?
Reflex actions are sudden responses, which do not involve any thinking.
A simple reflex does not involve thought processes?
True
What does the reflex action involve?
Protection(?)
Is a patellar reflex autonomic?
no
Is Corneal reflex involve both eyes or just one eye?
both eyes
What is the name given to reflexes that involve more than 2 neurons?
polysnaptic reflex
How is a reflex action different from a normal response to a stimulus?
It doesn't need to involve the brain.
What term describes a quick spontaneous automatic response to a stimulus that does not involve thinking about it?

What occur during the reflex?

How many synapses are crossed in a single reflex arc during a muscle stretch reflex?
one
What extrinsic eye muscles are controlled during the convergence reflex?
The voluntary muscles of the eye is the extrinsic eye muscle that are controlled during the convergence reflex. The convergence reflex is keen on keeping the eye alert.
