What nervous system allows us to respond to the external environment?

i believe it is the "Somatic" Nervous System. Since the Somatic is Voluntary and all. The Somatic is the part of the Nervous System that is responsible for consciousness movement and action.

How is reflex handled in the nervous system?

I'm not positive, but I think that reflexes are controlled by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The SNS is responsible for fight-or-flight responses. For example, if you see a shark coming directly at you, you decide to try to either get away from it (flight) or fight it off (fight). Reflexes are mediated by reflex arcs, which are neural pathways. Some sensory neurons pass directly to the synapse of the spinal cord, rather than the brain. This allows reflexes to occur relatively quickly.


Is the regulation of blood pressure a somatic reflex?
