The part of the brain responsible for eating are appetite centers of the amygdala and hypothalamus. The licking reflex is seen only certain animals but the centers are located in the medulla oblongata in the lower brainstem.

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.


Which part of the brain controls reflex actions such as sneezing and eye blinking?

Reflexes aren't actually controlled by the brain. When you blink in surprise or kick at the doctor's office, sensory nerves brought the signal to your spinal cord (encased in your vertebrae), which sent the message to act back. Reflexes are spinal.


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.

Conducts impulses between brain parts and controls some eye reflexes?

The structure responsible for conducting impulses between brain parts and controlling some eye reflexes is the midbrain. It plays a crucial role in coordinating basic movements and visual and auditory processing.

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.
