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

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 electronic Control devices?

One type of electronic control device is a hand held immobilizing device … that is used by police departments to control uncooperative or dangerous subjects. It is operated by propelling two darts at a hostile subject. When the two darts … strike the subject, so long as both [hooked barbs] remain in contact with the subject's body and/or clothing, the officer can send an electrical charge through the wires. The officer can continue to send charges through the subject by depressing a button…. The current generated by the [electronic control device] causes involuntary muscular contractions in the subject, which in turn usually causes the subject to lose muscular control for a short period of time and to fall to the ground. Because the … subject loses muscular control, an officer can establish control over an uncooperative or dangerous subject without the need to resort to mace, batons, or personal combat techniques.
