What digestive system reflexes that involve the brain are called?
Long reflexes
What part of the body does the muscular system involve?
muscles & joints
What are the two functional classifications of reflexes?
The two functional classifications of reflexes are autonomic reflexes, which regulate activities of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands, and somatic reflexes, which involve skeletal muscles. Autonomic reflexes are involuntary and controlled by the autonomic nervous system, while somatic reflexes are voluntary and controlled by the somatic nervous system.
Is a effector are skeletal muscles a somatic reflex or a autonomic reflex?
Skeletal muscles, which are effectors, are involved in somatic reflexes. Somatic reflexes involve voluntary control of skeletal muscles and are part of the somatic nervous system. Autonomic reflexes, on the other hand, involve the control of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands, and are part of the autonomic nervous system.
How are the circulatory system and the muscular system interdependent?
They both involve movement. Movement of the blood and Movement of the body
What are the differences between long and short reflexes?
Short reflexes are local neural pathways that control local reflexes within the enteric nervous system, while long reflexes involve input from the central nervous system. Short reflexes are rapid and do not involve the brain, while long reflexes are slower and can be influenced by higher brain centers.
What are long and short reflexes?
Long reflexes are mediated by the central nervous system and involve communication between the brain and spinal cord. Short reflexes are mediated within the autonomic nervous system and involve communication between local neurons in the enteric nervous system of the gastrointestinal tract.
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.
Do reflexes always involve the spinal cord?
Yes, the spinal cord controls ALL of your reflexes!
What system do strains affect?
Strains usually involve the muscular system affecting tendons attached to muscles and bones. They can just involve the ligaments which are connective tissues holding bones together. In this case it would be only the skeletal system.
Are locomotion and heat production part of the skeleton system?
No, locomotion and heat production are not part of the skeletal system. The skeletal system provides structural support, protection, and aids in movement, but locomotion and heat production involve other systems such as the muscular and respiratory systems.
Is the regulation of blood pressure a somatic reflex?
No, the regulation of blood pressure is not considered a somatic reflex. It is primarily controlled by autonomic reflexes involving the cardiovascular system, which are regulated by the autonomic nervous system and hormones. Somatic reflexes typically involve skeletal muscles and are responsible for voluntary movements.
