You pull your hand away after touching a hot pan is this a somatic or automatic reflex?
This is an automatic reflex that occurs at the spinal cord level. It involves two neurons: one that brings "pain" information into the cord and one that carries the motor reflex out to the muscle. This is a very fast response. It would take longer to go the the brain and back. A third neuron often sends a "report" to the brain.

What type of response occurs in a persons somatic nervous system when he or she touches a pot of boiling water?
they would react to it
What reflexes classified as somatic reflexes?
Somatic reflexes involve the contraction of skeletal muscles in response to stimuli. Examples include the stretch reflex, withdrawal reflex, and crossed extensor reflex. These reflexes are typically controlled by the central nervous system and help protect the body from harm or maintain posture and balance.
What type of homeostasis feedback reflex is the withdrawal reflex?
The withdrawal reflex is a negative feedback reflex that helps the body protect itself from harm. When the body comes into contact with a harmful stimulus, such as touching something hot, the withdrawal reflex causes muscles to contract and move the body part away from the stimulus, which helps to prevent injury.
What is a reflect muscle?
It is a muscle reflex. A very fast, involuntary muscle contraction. Because of this, it causes you to jerk your hand away after touching a hot iron.
What are some actions that are automatic responses to stimulus?
Example: Touching something hot - stimulus. Pull hand away- response.
What is a withdrawal reflex?
A reflex that you have no control over that withdraws a limb from a painful or otherwise unpleasant situation, for example touching a hotplate. This is a reflex because the neural input doesn't go to your brain, it does a loop in your spinal cord and goes straight back from your fingertips to the muscles that move your hand away.
When you pull your finger away after touching a sharp pin the stimulus is the?
The stimulus that causes you to pull your finger away after touching a sharp pin is the sensation of pain associated with the pin pricking your skin. This pain signal is sent from your nerves to your brain, triggering a reflex action to move your finger away to avoid injury.
What is an automatic response to a stimuli?
An automatic response to a stimuli is a quick, involuntary reaction that occurs without conscious thought or decision-making. These responses are typically controlled by the nervous system and are aimed at protecting the body from harm or ensuring its survival. Examples include blinking when a foreign object approaches the eye or pulling your hand away from a hot surface.
What are some common reflexes?
Their are 4 types of reflexes:spinal reflex (knee jerk);cranial reflex (reading);somatic reflexes (involve contraction of skeletal muscles);autonomic (visceral) reflexes (involve responses of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands)
Why is it advantageous for a person that the impulse passes through the reflex arc first before it is relayed to the brain?
One example is touching something very hot that might burn you: the reflex can pull the hand away from the hot object much quicker than the brain could decide if it was dangerously hot and pull the hand away. This reduces exposure to the heat and possible severity of any burn that might happen. Of course the brain could then decide to risk touching the hot object again to better determine if it is actually dangerously hot or if the reflex just overreacted.
After touching a hot stove you immediately withdraw your hand and step back What kind of reflex arc is involved Where are the receptors located and what is their function?
This type of reflex never in fact reaches the brain. The reflex arc begins with the perception of temperature, moves to the peripheral spinal chord, and is immediately sent back into a muscular contraction to move the hand away.
When you jerk your hand away from a hot stove you are activating your what?
Oh, what a wonderful question! When you jerk your hand away from a hot stove, you are activating your body's natural defense mechanism called the reflex arc. It's like a little guardian angel inside you, working quickly to protect you from harm. Just remember, your body is always looking out for you, like a trusted friend.
