5 reflex control and skeletal muscle Flashcards
why do we need reflexes
- maintain homeostasis
- detect and react to changes in environment
- protect the body from damaging stimuli
example of simple reflex arc
- knee jerk reflex
- pain-withdrawal reflex
does a simple reflex arc produce a rapid response
yes
does a simple reflex arc produce an involuntary response
yes
what to complex reflex actions respond to
temperature
what does a simple reflex arc respond to
a variety of stimuli
does complex reflex arc produce a rapid involuntary response
yes
what does a learned reflex have
somatic involvement
can there be other reflex carriers outside of nervous system
yes as hormones
what receptors does skeletal muscle have
nicotinic
what receptors do smooth muscles have
muscarinic
does skeletal muscle have striations
yes
does exercise improve skeletal muscle function
yes
can exercise improve reflexes
specific training can
does diet alone improve reflexes
no but can help improve exercise which will improve reflexes
