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.
What part of your nervous system control simple reflexes?
The autonomic nervous system does. It works at the level of the spinal cord.
What are the quick protective reactions that occur within your nervous system called?
Fight or flight response.
What are the reflexes of a newborn?
There area few reflexes when coming to a newborn. The main reflex would be the central nervous system.
What brain areas control primitive reflexes?
Primitive reflexes are primarily controlled by the brainstem and certain subcortical structures, such as the basal ganglia and the spinal cord. The brainstem, particularly regions like the midbrain and medulla, plays a crucial role in mediating these reflexes, which are automatic responses to specific stimuli. While higher brain areas, such as the cortex, can modulate these reflexes, the foundational control lies in the more primitive parts of the central nervous system.
How does the nervous muscluar and skeletal system help with reflexes?

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.
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. However, some systems in the Somatic are still involuntary, like reflexes. The Somatic Nervous System is part of the Peripheral Nervous System.
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.
Why do Pediatricians usually test newborn reflexes?
To confirm correct formation of their nervous system.
What nervous system is responsible for problem-solving skills?
The central nervous system.
What are the main organs responsible for coordination and control?
The nervous system including the central nervous system and the peripheral system are responsible for coordination and control.
