Who has faster reflexes adults or teenagers?
We (not mentioning the exact names) have done a test on who has the faster reflexes and we have come up with an answer. We tested their reflex times by asking 10 students and 10 adults to turn on and off a specific timer as fast as they could. The slower the reflex time ( i.e.- 45) the slower the reflex. The faster the reflex time (19) the faster the reflex. When we tested the adults ( surprisingly) they had MUCH faster reflex times than the kids. Even though you'd think the opposite. The age categories were under 15 (kids) and over 15 (adults) so there's the proof.
What is the speed of conduction through a reflex arc slower than the speed of conduction of an action potential along an axon?
The speed of conduction through a reflex arc is slower than the speed of conduction of an action potential along an axon because a reflex arc involves multiple synapses and processing steps in the spinal cord or brain before generating a response, which takes more time. In contrast, in a single axon, action potentials can travel faster due to the myelin sheath that speeds up conduction.
Is a gag reflex a somatic reflex?
No, a somatic reflex are the reflexes of the skeletal muscle movements. The gag reflex is considered to be an autonomic reflex.
Why the endocrine system does not provide effective reflex action?
The endocrine system does not provide effective reflex action because it operates through slower hormonal signaling rather than rapid neural impulses. Hormones are released into the bloodstream and take time to reach their target organs, resulting in delayed responses. In contrast, reflex actions mediated by the nervous system are instantaneous, allowing for quick reactions to stimuli. This inherent speed difference makes the endocrine system less suitable for immediate reflex responses.
273° what angle?
Answer Reflex Angle
What reflex is the knee jerk reflex an example of?
knee jerk aka patellar reflex is an example of a stretch reflex
The patellar reflex is a type of?
The patellar reflex is a type of stretch reflex that involves tapping the patellar tendon to elicit a contraction of the quadriceps muscle and extension of the knee. This reflex helps to maintain balance and stability.
The reflex that causes an infant to close its fist when the palm is touched is called the what reflex?
The reflex that causes an infant to close its fist when the palm is touched is called the grasp reflex.
The patellar knee jerk reflex is an example of?
Patellar reflex is an involuntary, deep tendon and myotatic reflex
Is the knee-jerk reflex a simple reflex stretch reflex or a spinal reflex?
The knee-jerk reflex is a type of stretch reflex, which is a type of spinal reflex. It involves the stimulation of sensory neurons in the muscle spindles of the quadriceps muscle, leading to a quick contraction of the muscle in response to a sudden stretch.
What will cause the reaction time of a reflex to increase?
Factors like fatigue, distractions, stress, or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol can cause an increase in reaction time for a reflex. Additionally, age-related changes or underlying health conditions can also contribute to slower reflexes.
What angle is larger a reflex or obtuse angle?
A reflex angle is larger.
