Best Answer

Yes, sedatives can slow down the central nervous system, including reflexes. This can result in impaired reflexes, making someone slower to react to stimuli or changes in their environment. It is important to be cautious when operating machinery or driving while taking sedatives due to this potential side effect.

What do autonomic reflexes control?

The Autonomic Nervous System itself is divided into two, the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems... So what autonomic reflexes control depends on those two divisions. However, as a whole autonomic system controls glands and smooth muscles.Sympathetic system kicks in when extraordinary or emergency situations happen. The catch phrase for this is 'fight or flight'. For example, what happen to people who were very afraid or frightened? They pee themselves, isn't it? Why? because what the sympathetic system do is that it relaxes the bladder. The sympathetic system constrict most blood vessels, and dilate some blood vessels. That is why if you are in an emergency situation, your blood pressure will go up, because if you constrict the blood vessels in the periphery of the body, you have also increased the peripheral resistance.Parasympathetic system is associated with the maintenance of the body systems (through glands). The catch phrase for this is 'rest and digest'. This system take over when you're just sitting in the living room while watching television shows that doesn't interest you at all.

Why brain is not involve during reflex actions?

A reflex action or reflex arc bypasses the brain as to decrease transmission time from detection to response, i.e. the time it takes for the body to initiate a response in relation to the effecting stimulus. This decrease in time allows for minimal damage to tissue or surrounding cells which may be affected by a certain stimulus.

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 did you get a DUI if you blew below the limit?

A DUI can still be proven if the officer can show that your driving was impaired. Different people become impaired at different alcohol levels so being below the limit does not 'prove' you were not impaired. The officer may also believe that you were impaired by something other than alcohol. On the bright side, a good defense attorney will be thrilled that you did take the breath test and blew under the limit.
