How does your brain judge the distance to nearby objects?

Your eyes do that. Your brain will tell the eyes to look at something. Your brain will tell your neck to move to see something. But your eyes can transfer images to your brain. Your brain actually gets the images upside down. Now, when your brain receives the image (which happens automatically in time) it should be able to analyze it and judge where the object stands in distance.

What is the advantage of the reflex action?

We can move immediately without thinking or using our brain for example if you touch a hot kettle you immediately pull your hand. In that case, you didn't use your mind in thinking if you will get it or not. you just pull your hand immediately because of the reflex action.


How long can the go brain without blood?

General medical consensus states that the human brain can go without oxygenated blood for 3 to 5 minutes without suffering major brain damage. After this time has elapsed, the cells in the brain will begin to die from lack of oxygen, resulting in brain damage.


What is a reflex action and how is this a good test of such an action?

A reflex action is an involuntary and immediate response to a stimulus, often mediated by the spinal cord without direct involvement of the brain. A common test for such an action is the knee-jerk reflex, where tapping the patellar tendon causes the leg to kick out. This response demonstrates the efficiency of the reflex arc, highlighting the body's ability to react quickly to stimuli for protection and coordination. Such tests are useful in assessing the integrity of the nervous system.

What is an example of responding to information in the nervous system?

If you accidentally touch something very hot and reflexively pull away, that action happens within the nerves of the hand, arm and spinal chord without the involvement of the brain. It does not involve any higher brain functions; it is indeed reflexive and happens within the nerves outside of the brain.

An action happens. Her organs observe and send neural impulses to her brain. Her brain processes what happens, lighting up neural pathways. These chemicals and impulses cause her brain to make decisions.

How do starfish know what to do if they don't have a brain?

Starfish do have neurons, despite not having a brain... this allows it to "perceive" stimuli and to react to them automatically, like a reflex, without needing a brain to process anything.


What sense organ goes to the spinal cord before the brain?

This mainly happens in the case of a reflex action. The spine receives the information from the receptor and gives commands to the effector a fraction of a second before the brain registers the action. This happens only with the sense of touch

How do you know consciously what has happened in a reflex action?

In a reflex action, the body reacts automatically to a stimulus without involving conscious thought, as this process occurs in the spinal cord. However, the brain is still aware of the event once the reflex has taken place. This awareness typically comes after the action has occurred, allowing us to recognize and understand what happened. Essentially, while the reflex bypasses conscious control, the brain processes the experience afterward, enabling us to recall it.


How does the esophagus work with the brain?

The esophagus and brain work together when you swallow and move your food to your stomach. Did you realize that you do that with a coordinated effort of your nervous system, digestive system, and muscular system? Probably not because it happens automatically. After you swallow a reflex mechanism takes over and the smooth muscles in your esophagus move the food down with peristaltic contractions.
