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 is an autonomic response?

The Autonomic System controls your internal movement. When receptors detect your body getting too warm, for example, impulses are sent to your skin. The response is automatic: you have no control over the action.


How does the somatic nervous system differ from the autonomic nervous system?

The somatic nervous system controls the voluntary movement of skeletal muscles, such as when you move your arm. The autonomic nervous systems controls the involuntary actions of internal organs and glands. The beating of your heart is controlled by this system. The autonomic nervous system is further broken up into two parts: the sympathetic, which controls arousal (think fight-or-flight), and the parasympathetic, which controls calming (think rest and digest).


If a person had a diseased autonomic nervous system the kinds of functions most directly affected would be things such as?

Heart rate, blood pressure regulation, digestion, temperature regulation, and bladder control would be most directly affected by a diseased autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls these involuntary bodily functions.


What is the autonomic ganglia of the parasympathetic system are called?
