What cord mediated reflexes?
The knee and elbow reflexes
How does the cerebral cortex overrides the reflex?
The cerebral cortex can not over ride reflexes. Reflex are mediated at the level of the spinal cord.
What hormone control reflexes?
Reflexes are primarily controlled by the nervous system rather than hormones. However, hormones can influence reflexes indirectly by modulating the responsiveness of the nervous system. For example, adrenaline (epinephrine) can enhance reflex responses during a fight-or-flight situation by increasing heart rate and energy availability. Overall, while hormones play a role in preparing the body for reflex actions, the actual reflexes are mediated by neural pathways.
What are long and short reflexes?
I'm assuming this question regards short and long reflexes involved with the gastrointestinal system. Long reflexes to the GIT involve a sensory neuron that sends an impulse to the brain where it is integrated and another impulse is sent to the digestive system. The stimulus may come from the GIT or another area such as salivary glands or the pancreas and liver and may travel along the vagus, pelvic or sympathetic nerves. Short reflexes occur when only the enteric nervous system receives, integrates and acts upon the stimulus. An example is can be seen when sensory cells are stimulated in the wall of the GIT. These cells then send signals to the nerve plexuses in the GIT. Hope that helps :)
When was Mediated created?
Mediated was created in 2005.
Is a heartbeat a reflex?
No, a heartbeat is not a reflex. It is a coordinated and involuntary contraction of the heart muscle controlled by the heart's own electrical system, known as the cardiac conduction system. Reflexes are typically involuntary responses to stimuli mediated by the nervous system.
Are neutrinos mediated by electromagnetic interaction?
No, neutrinos are mediated by weak interactions, Photons are mediated by electromagnetic interactions.
Car accident spinal cord was severed at the 12th level thoracic Spinal cord reflexes below this level are absent What is this called?
paraplegia
What is mediated public speaking?
What is mediated public speaking?
What is the simplest form of motor output that protects us from harm?
The simplest form of motor output that protects us from harm is the reflex action. This automatic response occurs without conscious thought, allowing the body to react quickly to harmful stimuli, such as pulling a hand away from a hot surface. Reflexes are mediated by neural pathways known as reflex arcs, which involve sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons. This rapid response helps minimize injury and ensures immediate protection.
What does Reflexes 2 in medical terms mean?
"Reflexes 2" or "reflexes +2" indicates normal reflexes.
Why don't we have to think before a reflex?
Because reflexes only occur at the level of the spinal cord, not the brain.
