What part of the brain controls reflexes?
Reflexes are primarily controlled by the spinal cord, which sends immediate signals to muscles to respond to a stimulus without involving the brain. However, the brain can modulate and regulate reflex responses through higher brain centers to some extent.
How do basic and learned or acquired reflexes differ?
learned or acquired reflex - a reflex which is learned through practice or repetition and may involve both a far more complicated set of triggering stimuli and a far more complicated pattern of motor response, e.g., the reflexive motor actions produced after one has learned to ride a bicycle or drive a car; most such reflexes are somatic because they involve complex response patterns from skeletal muscles. While an unlearned reflex is like breathing
What polysynaptic reflexes have a neuron?
The withdrawal reflex is an example of a polysynaptic reflex involving multiple neurons. This reflex pathway consists of sensory neurons carrying the stimulus information to the spinal cord, interneurons within the spinal cord processing the information, and motor neurons sending signals to muscles to initiate a response, such as withdrawing from a painful stimulus.
Is an effector of a skeletal muscle a somatic reflex?
Yes, the effector of a skeletal muscle is part of a somatic reflex. Somatic reflexes involve the contraction of skeletal muscles in response to a stimulus, and the effector in this case is the skeletal muscle itself that carries out the response.
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.
What has the author Ingemar Engberg written?
Ingemar Engberg has written: 'Reflexes to foot muscles in the cat' -- subject(s): Foot, Reflexes, Cats, Physiology
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 determines how fast your reflexes are?
YOUR BRAIN REACTION,YOUR muscles, tired or no tired,even weather.
What is a Opposite paired muscles?
opposite paired muscles are ones that while one is relaxing, the other is flexing. for example, the Triceps and Biceps are opposite.
What paralyzes muscles and make them floppy and reflexes are decreased or absent?
Botulinum toxin is able to paralyze muscles by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This results in muscle weakness and a floppy appearance. Reflexes may be decreased or absent due to the lack of communication between the nerves and muscles.
What sends an impulse so that muscles can carry out the responce to stimulus?
Nerve impulses, or action potentials, are sent through motor neurons from the central nervous system to the muscles in response to a stimulus. These impulses trigger the release of neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction, which bind to receptors on muscle fibers. This binding initiates a series of biochemical events that lead to muscle contraction, enabling the muscles to respond to the stimulus.
When the doctor checks your reflexes in your knee are you using voluntary muscules or invoulentary muscles?
