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.
Does alcohol speeds your reflexes and reaction time?
Exactly the opposite. It SLOWS your reflexes and reaction times.
What is the effector in the patellar reflexes?
The quadriceps femoris muscle.

cause they keep you alive. no they are important so they keep you alive bad reflexes mean bad muscle strengh
Are smooth muscle reflexes somatic?

Can muscle tissue absorb alcohol?
Muscle tissue does not absorb alcohol in the same way that organs like the liver do, but it can be affected by alcohol consumption. When alcohol enters the bloodstream, it can impact muscle metabolism and performance. Chronic alcohol use may lead to muscle damage, reduce protein synthesis, and impair recovery. However, the muscle cells themselves do not directly absorb alcohol.
