What are the two functional classifications of reflexes?

The two functional classifications of reflexes are autonomic reflexes, which regulate activities of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands, and somatic reflexes, which involve skeletal muscles. Autonomic reflexes are involuntary and controlled by the autonomic nervous system, while somatic reflexes are voluntary and controlled by the somatic nervous system.


Is a effector are skeletal muscles a somatic reflex or a autonomic reflex?

Skeletal muscles, which are effectors, are involved in somatic reflexes. Somatic reflexes involve voluntary control of skeletal muscles and are part of the somatic nervous system. Autonomic reflexes, on the other hand, involve the control of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands, and are part of the autonomic nervous system.


How are the circulatory system and the muscular system interdependent?

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 long and short reflexes?

I'm assuming this question regards short and long reflexes involved with the gastrointestinal system. Long reflexes to the GIT involve a sensory neuron that sends an impulse to the brain where it is integrated and another impulse is sent to the digestive system. The stimulus may come from the GIT or another area such as salivary glands or the pancreas and liver and may travel along the vagus, pelvic or sympathetic nerves. Short reflexes occur when only the enteric nervous system receives, integrates and acts upon the stimulus. An example is can be seen when sensory cells are stimulated in the wall of the GIT. These cells then send signals to the nerve plexuses in the GIT. Hope that helps :)


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 always involve the spinal cord?

Yes, the spinal cord controls ALL of your reflexes!


What system do strains affect?

Strains usually involve the muscular system affecting tendons attached to muscles and bones. They can just involve the ligaments which are connective tissues holding bones together. In this case it would be only the skeletal system.


Are locomotion and heat production part of the skeleton system?

No, locomotion and heat production are not part of the skeletal system. The skeletal system provides structural support, protection, and aids in movement, but locomotion and heat production involve other systems such as the muscular and respiratory systems.


Is the regulation of blood pressure a somatic reflex?

No, the regulation of blood pressure is not considered a somatic reflex. It is primarily controlled by autonomic reflexes involving the cardiovascular system, which are regulated by the autonomic nervous system and hormones. Somatic reflexes typically involve skeletal muscles and are responsible for voluntary movements.
