What type of reflex has the control center in the brain stem?

Reflexes that have their control center in the brain stem are known as brain stem reflexes. These include vital reflexes such as the gag reflex, cough reflex, and pupillary reflex, which are essential for survival and basic bodily functions. The brain stem integrates sensory inputs and coordinates motor responses, allowing for immediate reactions to stimuli. These reflexes are typically involuntary and occur without conscious thought.


Which is a type of muscle tissue that is most often controlled by conscious thought?

Skeletal muscle is most often controlled by conscious thought.


What is the muscle tissue that is under conscious control?

There are three types of muscle, Smoothe, Skeletal and Cardiac. Smooth muscle is the type that is found in the viscera of the body and is involved in all the actions we do not have time to think about all the time so is under the control of the Autonomic Nervous System. The skeletal muscle is the type that moves the joints asn is named fof its connection to the bones of the body which skeletal muscles act on. This is the type that is involved in the finer actions that you must think about to perform and so these are the muscles under conscious control. The cardiac muscle is similar to the skeletal muscle in structure but is can generate its own rhythmic contraction under the influence of autonomic nervous action


What determine the speed of a reflex?

The speed of a reflex is primarily determined by the type of neurons involved, the distance the signal must travel, and the complexity of the reflex arc. Reflexes that involve fewer synapses, such as monosynaptic reflexes, are faster than those with multiple synapses, like polysynaptic reflexes. Additionally, myelination of the neurons enhances conduction speed, allowing for quicker responses. Overall, simpler and more direct pathways yield faster reflex responses.


What type of muscle cell is short with a centrally located nucleus?

The type of muscle cell that is short with a centrally located nucleus is called a smooth muscle cell. These cells are non-striated and involuntary, meaning they function without conscious control. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs, such as the intestines and blood vessels, and is responsible for various involuntary movements, such as peristalsis and vasodilation.

Names of the three different types of musc les inthe body and which ones can you control?

Voluntary (striated) Involuntary (smooth) Cardiac. You have conscious control over the first type.


Which type of the three muscles in the body is voluntary?

Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle in the body that is voluntary. This means that its contractions are under conscious control, allowing for movement of the skeleton and coordination of body movements. In contrast, smooth muscle and cardiac muscle are involuntary, meaning they function without conscious thought.

Does boys reflexes work better than a girls?

It depends on the type of boy or girl you are talking about. A certain boy might have better reflexes than a girls, but usually girls are more flexible. Therefore, a larger percent of girls have better reflexes than boys.


Reflexes are not carried to the brain?

Reflexes are actually carried to the brain through sensory neurons that send signals to the spinal cord. The spinal cord processes the incoming sensory information and coordinates a quick response, sometimes without direct involvement of the brain. This allows for rapid reflex actions to occur without the need for conscious thought.

What are two kinds of muscle tissues?

Two types of muscle in the human body are striated muscle. Striated means "striped" and is the type of muscle that moves the body. Smooth muscle does not have the striped appearance and is not under conscious control.
