What type of reflex leads to secretion of saliva?
Not really reflex but the presence of food stimulates salivary gland. Sometimes even just the smell or sight of certain food do.
Example of reflex action?
reacting when someone flashes his or her hand to your face that includes blinking-------------------------------------------------------A reflex action is a sudden reaction to a stimuli (a change in the environment) & often acts to protect you.Some are controlled by the brain (cranial reflexes) such as when you blink as dust lands in your eye, or your pupil gets smaller as light is shone in your eye.Some reflexes are controlled by the spinal cord (spinal reflexes) such as when you touch a hot object or stand on a pin.Some reflexes can have learnt responses so they are calledconditioned reflexes. These reflexes occur without you even thinking about them e.g. walking & producing saliva when you smell food.
Do the gastrocolic reflex triggers mass peristalsis?
Yes, the gastrocolic reflex can trigger mass peristalsis in response to food entering the stomach. This reflex helps move food through the digestive tract by increasing colonic motility after a meal.
What does it mean if someone or something salivates?
Salivation is the production of saliva in the mouth, typically in response to the sight, smell, or thought of food. It is a natural reflex that helps with digestion by moistening food and aiding in swallowing.
What is the duodenocolic reflex?
The duodenocolic reflex is a gastrocolic reflex that occurs when food enters the duodenum, triggering a reflex response in the colon to promote defecation. This reflex helps facilitate the movement of waste through the digestive system by increasing colonic motility.
What reflex action occur when you are hungry and smell cooking food?
your stomach grumbles
What type of reflex leads to secretion of saliva?

What is the reflex pathway for sense of smell?
If you smell something really nasty like a dirty nappy you either just wrinkel your nose or your gag-reflex is activated. This reflex used to be to protect us from eating things which can harm us e.g.: mouldy food or faeces.
What are the effectors of the salivary reflex?
The effectors of the salivary reflex are the salivary glands, which produce and release saliva in response to stimuli such as the sight, smell, or taste of food. The parasympathetic nervous system is primarily responsible for stimulating the salivary glands during this reflex.
What happens in your mouth when you smell or see food?
it starts to water
Why does my house smell like food after cooking?
When you cook food, the smell can linger in the air and get absorbed by surfaces in your house. This happens because cooking releases tiny particles and aromas that can spread throughout the space, creating a food-like smell.
What happens if we didn't have an epiglottis?
Food will go down the trachea into your lungs. This can cause a gagging reflex and you could sufforcate and die.
Define reflex action?
Reflex action is an immediate response to a specific stimulus without conscious control. Spinal reflexes are controlled by the spinal cord. And the spinal cord and the brain are Reflex centres.Examples of reflex actions are scratching when your skin is itchy, the sudden blinking of the eye when a hand is waved in front of it, and also salivation when food is in the mouth.
What an example of a reflex action?

Is the tongue involved in the swallowing reflex?
The tongue is involved in the swallowing reflex insofar as it raises voluntarily to force food backward toward the pharnyx, where reflex action takes over in which the larynx is closed by the epiglottis and the nasal passages are closed by the soft palate so that food does not enter into the trachea. Food then moves down the esophagus by peristalsis and gravity.
What is dank smell of food?
it is smell of food
Is salivation an automatic reflex?
The withdrawal reflex is both a somatic and autonomic reflex (brain). Withdrawal from a painful stimulus is one test used in brain injury. Without the somatic connection to the autonomic brain areas, you'd have no withdrawal reflex at all when something interferes with that connection (such as brain injury or brain death).
