Explain when it might be adaptive for conscious thought to intervene and modify a reflex action?
Conscious thought might intervene to modify a reflex action when the situation requires a more complex or nuanced response than the reflex can provide. For example, if a reflex action is not appropriate for the current context or if a quick decision needs to be made based on multiple factors, conscious thought can override the reflex to ensure a more suitable response.
What term describes a quick spontaneous automatic response to a stimulus that does not involve thinking about it?
The term reflex or phrase reflex action describes a quick spontaneous automatic response to a stimulus that does not involve thinking about it. It is controlled through the brain, but does not require thought.
Differences btn simple reflex and conditioned reflex action?
A simple reflex action is an automatic, involuntary response to a stimulus that involves a direct pathway through the spinal cord, such as the knee-jerk reflex. In contrast, a conditioned reflex action is a learned response that occurs when a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus, as seen in Pavlov's experiments with dogs. While simple reflexes are innate and require no prior learning, conditioned reflexes depend on experience and can be modified over time.
Why is it important for the brain to be kept informed of a reflex action?
The brain needs to be informed of a reflex action to coordinate and modulate the response accordingly. This information allows the brain to adjust the reflex response based on the circumstances, ensuring appropriate reactions to stimuli and maintaining overall control of motor functions.
What is the name of the short pathway that carries the impulse for an automatic response?
The short pathway that carries the impulse for an automatic response is called a reflex arc. It involves sensory neurons, interneurons in the spinal cord, and motor neurons to quickly produce a reflex action in response to a stimulus, bypassing the brain.
An automatic response to a stimulous is called a?
Reflex action.

What is the part in reflex in the response?
Reflex action is your body's reflex against injury. It is needed in every part of your body.
Is reflex action and reflex arcs are same?
Reflexes are uncontrollable movements that happen almost instantly in response to a stimuli. A reflex arc, a neuronal circuit that controls reflexes, is where reflex activities takes place.
What is a difference between reflex and voluntary action?
The difference between reflex and voluntary action is that a reflex occurs naturally in response to some sort of stimulus and voluntary action is something that is consciously carried out. An example of a reflex action is gagging and an example of voluntary action is flinching when someone is going to hit you.
A rapid simple automatic response that involves few neurons is?
A reflex action is a fast, automatic response to a stimulus by an effector organ i.e. a muscle.
True or false a reflex action is a movement your body does automatically?
A reflex action is a movement your body does automatically. The body moves almost immediately in response to specific stimulation.

How is the reflex response different from the sensory response?
The stimulus is what triggers the reflex response.
