What else can I help you with?
What event occurs as a result of a muscle action potential?
Reflex action
When a muscle is suddenly stretched what is called to action?
Stretch Reflex
Muscle action that is not under your control is?
Involuntary muscle action. Examples include the beating of the heart, digestion in the stomach, and reflex actions like blinking or sneezing.
What is effector muscle for calcaneal reflex action?
The effector muscle for the calcaneal reflex (also known as the Achilles reflex) is the gastrocnemius muscle in the calf. When the Achilles tendon is tapped, it causes a contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle, resulting in plantar flexion of the foot.
In the reflex arc a muscle or gland is considered to be the?
In the reflex arc, a muscle or gland is considered to be the effector. Its role is to respond to the stimulus provided by the sensory neuron and produce the appropriate action, such as muscle contraction or gland secretion.
A rapid simple automatic response that involves few neurons is?
A reflex action is a fast, automatic response to a stimulus by an effector organ i.e. a muscle.
Is sweating a reflex action?
No it is not a reflex action
Acts to reverse or act against the action of another muscle?
Fixator
What is a similarity between a reflex action and a voluntary action?
Both require motor neurones to carry the nerve impulse to the effector in order for the muscle to contract carry out an action.
Is the knee-jerk reflex a simple reflex stretch reflex or a spinal reflex?
The knee-jerk reflex is a type of stretch reflex, which is a type of spinal reflex. It involves the stimulation of sensory neurons in the muscle spindles of the quadriceps muscle, leading to a quick contraction of the muscle in response to a sudden stretch.
What reflex prevents a muscle from exerting too much tension?
It's called the stretch reflex and involves muscle spindles which are sensorimotor organs located in skeletal muscle.
How the action of a muscle pulling on a bone can work like a lever?
If the muscle crosses a joint (most do), then the joint acts as a pivot.
