A reflex arc does not pass through the brain. The somatic reflex arc and autonomic reflex arc are two types.

What part of the brain controls reflexes?
Midbrain in the Brain Stem
Name two somatic reflexes in which the higer brain centers participate?
The Human Reflex Physiology Review Sheet states that "Conversely, other reflexes require the involvement of the brain, since many different inputs must be evaluated before the appropriate reflex is determined. Superficial cord reflexes and pupillary responses to light are in this category" (p. 342).
Does the brainstem contain centers for speech and motor?
No, those are in the brain. The Brain Stem and the Spinal Cord are for reflexes and transmitting nervous messages to the brain.
The blood supply to the brain is carried by the?
The left brainial artery.
What is an example of a reflex arc?
There are a couple of experiments that have been carried out to show how complex polysynaptic reflexes are. Firstly, an experiment was carried out with a bird after its brain had been removed. It was expected that the bird would not be able to fly. However, it managed to fly to the nearest ledge. This shows that flying does not require motor cortex. Secondly, an experiment was carried out with a cat that had its spinal cord cut. The cat still withdrew its paw when it was subject to painful stimuli.
Are Reflexes carried to the brain.?
They are. The previous answer is wrong
True or false reflexes are not carried to the brain?
True
What digestive system reflexes that involve the brain are called?
Long reflexes
What part of the brain controls reflexes?
Midbrain in the Brain Stem
Why do more complex reflexs have slower response times?
Reflexes are automatic, involuntary responses or impulses. Most reflexes do not involve the brain, however, more complex reflexes have to involve the brain in order to process the reflexes. An example of this would be blinking the eye. This is a complex reflex and it must involve the brain. Also, you must take in the place the reason why reflexes do not involve the brain: because it could cause serious damage to the body. Complex reflexes will not cause serious damage if it uses to brain to produce the impulse.
What part of the brain that controls reflexes?
cerebellum
What types of reflexes does the brain control?
all of them!

Are the messages involved in automatic reflexes are coordinated by reflex centers in the brain?
brain
The messages involved in automatic reflexes are coordinated by reflex centers in the brain?
brain
What part of the brain controls simple reflexes that do not involve the brain?
spinal cord
Do reflexes change with age?
normally as you get older your reflexes are much slower because your brain is much slower.
