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

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).


What part of the brain controls reflexes?

Reflexes are primarily controlled by the spinal cord, which sends immediate signals to muscles to respond to a stimulus without involving the brain. However, the brain can modulate and regulate reflex responses through higher brain centers to some extent.


What are the differences between long and short reflexes?

I believe a short reflex is when one is partially aroused, as during a bumpy car ride or Kate Winslet's nude scene in Titanic. A long reflex is when the member becomes fully hugified, as during any Paul Walker movie.


What are the cortical reflexes?

Cortical reflexes are involuntary movements or responses initiated by the cerebral cortex of the brain. These reflexes can include actions such as blinking, swallowing, or coughing in response to stimuli. They are important for protecting the body and maintaining homeostasis.


What characteristics do reflexes have in common?

Reflexes are automatic, involuntary responses to a stimulus. They are typically quick and involve minimal processing by the brain. Reflexes help to protect the body from harm and assist in maintaining balance and coordination.

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.

Do reflexes change with age?

normally as you get older your reflexes are much slower because your brain is much slower.
