What role does the brain play in a reflex response?
withdrawal reflex involves the processing of brain. it integrates with cerebellar activity
What is it called when a stimulus does not go all the way to the brain and the response is considered an automatic response?
A reflex is an automatic response to a stimulus that may not go all the way to the brain.
How does the nervous system produce a response?
The nervous system sends a message to your brain and your brain send a message back "telling you what to do". Sending a message to your brain and your brain sending one back takes a shorter time than it does for you to blink once.
Is an invoulantary reflex when you do it without thinking?
Yes it is well actually your brain sends a message to the muscle or organ and it does it automatically
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.
What is cranial reflex?
A cranial reflex is a fast, involuntary response to a stimulus. It uses the brain stem as an integrating center (the brain receives sensory information and generates a response). This is contrasted to a spinal reflex, when the response is generated in the spinal cord itself, and the brain only finds out a reflex has occurred after the fact.An example of a cranial reflex would be the tracking movements of your eyes as you are reading this sentence. The dilation and contraction of your pupils in response to different levels of light is another cranial reflex.--------------An example of a spinal reflex would be standing on a pin or touching a hot object.
What role does the brain play in a reflex response?
withdrawal reflex involves the processing of brain. it integrates with cerebellar activity
Compare and contrast instincts and reflexes in animals?
An instinct is a complex pattern of innate behavior.A reflex is an automatic response that does not involve a message from the brain
What is a reflex?
A reflex is a quick involuntary action. There are five steps to a reflex: the stimulus occurs, the sensory neurons sense the stimulus, it sends a message to your spinal cord (it doesn't reach the brain right then), the spinal cord sends a message to your motor neurons, and the reflex occurs. While this is happening, the message goes on to your brain, which is why you feel the pain slightly after you jerk your hand out of the hot tub.A reflex is an involuntary response to a stimuliBlinking, Gagging, and Coughing, are examples of reflexes. In Infants, there are reflexes called Moro, rooting, and sucking.Many of the reflexes of infants are lost as they grow older. For example, sucking from a nipple for food is different than using a straw. Use of the straw is not response to stimulus, and therefore not a reflex.Reflexes follow a Reflex ARC. The Arc is through the spinal cord. While the information gets sent to the brain (you know you touched something hot, or you are choking and coughing), the reflex totally by-passes the brain. A reflex arc starts at the point of stimulation, goes to the spinal cord, and the return arc is the action. It saves time. Reflexes are protective. For instance: Touching a hot stove. You touch it, and the response is an immediate reflex to withdraw. It didn't go to your brain for you to think about. The arc was at the spinal cord for faster response time.
What is it called when a stimulus does not go all the way to the brain and the response is considered an automatic response?
A reflex is an automatic response to a stimulus that may not go all the way to the brain.
How is a reflex action different from a normal response to a stimulus?
It doesn't need to involve the brain.
What happens in your brain when you reflexively plug your ears because of a loud or unpleasant sound?
Nothing really, this is a reflex response and your brain is made aware of it.
The knee jerk reflex is an example of a?
A reflex is a rapid, involuntary response to a stimulus. A reflex arc is the pathway traveled by the nerve impulses during a reflex.Most reflexes are spinal reflexes with pathways that traverse only the spinal cord. During a spinal reflex, information may be transmitted to the brain, but it is the spinal cord, and not the brain, that is responsible for the integration of sensory information and a response transmitted to motor neurons.Information is sent to the brain but that takes awhile longer. It is best if you remove your hand from the fire as fast as possible and not wait until the brain yells "hot, hot!".
What is reflex and complex behavior in animal systems?
reflex action is that immediate response to the external stimuli which is provided for the spinal cord itself and not the brain and further the complex action is taken by brain by further thinking upon the matter
How does the nervous system produce a response?
The nervous system sends a message to your brain and your brain send a message back "telling you what to do". Sending a message to your brain and your brain sending one back takes a shorter time than it does for you to blink once.
What neurons are involved in a reflex?
3 neurons are included in the reflex arc. They are: Afferent neurons (take the message to the spinal cord) (sensory) Association neurons (directs message to the efferent neuron and the brain) (report reflex to the brain) Efferent neurons (takes message to effector) (motor) Not all reflexes have interneurons.
Is an invoulantary reflex when you do it without thinking?
Yes it is well actually your brain sends a message to the muscle or organ and it does it automatically
