What digestive system reflexes that involve the brain are called?
Long reflexes
What part of the body does the muscular system involve?
muscles & joints
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?
They both involve movement. Movement of the blood and Movement of the body
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 or name two systems that work with the muscular system. Explain how the muscular system works with each?
The muscular system works closely with the skeletal system and the nervous system. The skeletal system provides the framework and leverage for muscles to contract and create movement, while the nervous system controls muscle contractions through electrical signals, coordinating movements and reflexes. Together, these systems enable voluntary and involuntary actions, facilitating everything from walking to heartbeats.
Do visceral reflexes include the reflexes that empty the rectum?
Yes, visceral reflexes do include the reflexes that facilitate the emptying of the rectum. These reflexes are part of the autonomic nervous system and involve both sensory and motor pathways. When the rectum is distended, stretch receptors send signals to the spinal cord, which then triggers reflexive contractions of the rectal muscles and relaxation of the anal sphincter to allow for defecation.
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.
