Compare and contrast instincts and reflexes in animals?

An instinct is a complex pattern of innate behavior.A reflex is an automatic response that does not involve a message from the brain


What part of brain controls posture?

Action potential in the brain


What are neural mechanisms?

Neural Mechanisms refer to structures such as neurons (nerve cells), neural circuits and regions of the brain plus substances such as neurotransmitters and hormones. These regulate behaviour, voluntary and involuntary systems.


Is yawning a voluntary action?

Yawning is generally considered an involuntary action, although it can sometimes be triggered voluntarily. It often occurs as a response to tiredness, boredom, or the need to increase oxygen intake. While individuals can choose to yawn, the physiological mechanisms behind yawning are primarily automatic and not consciously controlled.


Why do humans yawn?

Usually, we yawn when we are tired or bored and probably breathing slowly and not very deeply. Then the brain's automatic control of breathing will trigger a deep breath. This is what we call a yawn. This automatic control works from a spot in the base of the brain. Its job is to keep checking on the carbon dioxide in the blood. When there is too much carbon dioxide, the control speeds up our breathing to help take away the carbon dioxide. It may seem strange to think that our breathing is controlled automatically. We can think about our breathing and decide to breathe rapidly or slowly. But most of the time we do not think about how to breathe, and the automatic control does the job.

What is a automatic action that does not involve the brain?

Reflex actions are sudden responses, which do not involve any thinking.


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.


What does the reflex action involve?

Protection(?)


How is a reflex action different from a normal response to a stimulus?

A reflex action is an automatic, involuntary response to a stimulus that bypasses the brain, whereas a normal response to a stimulus involves conscious thought and decision-making processes in the brain. Reflex actions occur more quickly and are essential for survival, while normal responses can involve cognitive processing and decision-making.


What part of the body is not a reflex action in humans?

Conscious actions, such as voluntary movements controlled by the brain, are not reflex actions in humans. These actions involve decision-making and higher brain functions, unlike reflex actions which are automatic responses to stimuli.

Why do more complex reflexs have slower response times?

Reflexes are automatic, involuntary responses or impulses. Most reflexes do not involve the brain, however, more complex reflexes have to involve the brain in order to process the reflexes. An example of this would be blinking the eye. This is a complex reflex and it must involve the brain. Also, you must take in the place the reason why reflexes do not involve the brain: because it could cause serious damage to the body. Complex reflexes will not cause serious damage if it uses to brain to produce the impulse.


Why is a spinal reflex more rapid than a voluntary movement?

AnswerBecause a reflex action is automatic and does not involve a thought process.Edit: A reflex action only has to go to the spinal cord and then back to the limb, whereas a voluntary reaction has to go to the brain to be processed and therefore takes longer.


What are the differences between voluntary actions and reflex actions?

Voluntary actions are consciously controlled movements initiated by the brain, while reflex actions are automatic responses to stimuli that do not require conscious thought. Voluntary actions involve higher brain functions and can be modified based on individual intent, while reflex actions are typically quick, involuntary responses for immediate protection or survival.


A reflex that does not pass through the brain is termed as?

Simple, unconditioned or natural reflexes do not involve the brain. These reflexes occur when a receptor that goes to the spinal cord is stimulated by an impulse or effector. The effector neuron sends a response to the muscle or the gland thus causing an instant action. An example of this type of action would be when you blink your eye due to strong light.
