The dendrite of a sensory neuron would receive impulses from an interneuron?
Sensory neurons typically receive information from sensory receptors, not interneurons. Interneurons, also known as association neurons, function within the central nervous system to relay signals between sensory and motor neurons.
What are the advantages of the fact that most reflex actions are governed by spinal cord?
Reflex actions are governed by three neurons only. If some body tries to hit on your eye, you blink by reflex action. Here again only three neurons are involved, although the middle neuron passes through your brain. Reflex action means only three neurons are involved and that saves lot of time required to think over the serious matter. So in reflex action you respond first and then brain notice the problem.The spinal reflex is fast. The reason it is fast is because the decisions are made at spinal cord level, rather than the nerves having to travel up to the brain and back down to the source.Because you are able to react quicker without having to think about it.1 It reduces the work load of brain. 2 The reflex action is under control of spinal cord, the message is sent to the brain later on.If it would have been under control of brain, it would have reqired longer duration for us to react, which has potential to cause damage to body tissue. Hence presence of spinal cord increases efficiency of reflex action.
The specific neurons that would send impulses to the brain when a hot surface has been touched would be the?
The specific neurons that send impulses to the brain when a hot surface is touched are called nociceptors. These sensory neurons detect painful stimuli and transmit signals through the peripheral nervous system to the spinal cord and then to the brain. This process alerts the brain to the potential danger, resulting in the sensation of pain and triggering a reflex response to withdraw from the heat.
What part of in pupil reflex for stimulus?
The stimulus in the pupil reflex would be light
How long would it take for an impulse to travel through a reflex arc?
The time it takes for an impulse to travel through a reflex arc typically ranges from about 20 to 50 milliseconds. This duration can vary based on factors such as the length of the reflex arc and the type of nerve fibers involved. Generally, faster impulses travel along myelinated fibers, while slower impulses travel along unmyelinated fibers. Overall, the speed is quick enough to allow for rapid reflexive responses to stimuli.
What are three kinds of neutrons that would be involved in a reflex impulse?
They are neurons and not neutrons. You have afferent neuron. Then you have intermediate neuron and then you have the efferent neuron in the reflex arc.

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.
The specific neurons that would send impulses to the brain when a hot surface has been touched would be the?

This process alerts the brain to the potential danger, resulting in the sensation of pain and triggering a reflex response to withdraw from the heat.
How do sensory neurons motor neurons and interneurons work together to produce a response to an environmental stimulus?
This forms what is called a reflex arc. If you would touch a very hot pan, your body will respond very fast to remove your hand before it burns badly. If you had to think about it, the burn would be more severe. So this bypassed the brain and is called a reflex arc. Sensory neurons sends info into the central nervous system (CNS), passes the info to the interneuron and it passes that to the motor neuron. The interneuron also send info to the brain and you note that "that is hot!". If you pay attention to this, you will see that you will remove your hand before you feel the burn.
Describe the reflex arc?
A reflex arc is the neural pathway that mediates a reflex action. In higher animals, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord. This characteristic allows reflex actions to occur relatively quickly by activating spinal motor neurons without the delay of routing signals through the brain, although the brain will receive sensory input while the reflex action occurs.
In reflexology where is the hiatus hernia reflex?
I believe it would be the ileocecal valve reflex
Would salivary reflex be a somatic reflex?
In some circumstances I guess so.
What part of in pupil reflex for stimulus?
The stimulus in the pupil reflex would be light
What kind of impulse carries impulses toward the spinal cord and brain?
A reflex. Reflexes are processed by the spinal cord in order to provide a quicker reaction than would be achieved if the signal travelled all the way to the brain and back.
