conscious and unconscious responses

Question 1

consious responses

Answer 1

reaction to a sensory stimulus that involves awreness, usualy voluntary and have some sort of control over

Question 2

2 functions of somatic nervous sytem

Answer 2

1.sensory input:gathering info from our senses like touch,sight,hearing

2.motor output: controlling volunatry movements like walking talking

Question 3

how the autinomic system is not completely self regulating

Answer 3

we can regulate our breathing rate or heart rate through techniques like deep breething or meditation

Question 4

our consious responses are those made by our brain that intitiates conscious movements

Answer 4

1. sensory info is detected by our sense organs
2. the sensory info detected is carried by our sensory neurons
   3.our brain then processes this info recieved
   4.one processing info, brain sends motor info, efferent neurons
3. this enables consious movement

Question 5

unconcious responses

Answer 5

a reaction to a sensory stimulus that does not involve awareness, involuntary, can be made by autonomic and spinal cord

Question 6

intitiated by

Answer 6

spinal cord rather than brain, also known as reflex arc

Question 7

withdrawel reflex - example of spinal reflex

Answer 7

1. sensory receptors would detect incoming sensory info (eg. detecting heat)
2. info is carried by sensory neurons and recieved by interneruorons withiin spinal cord
3. interneuorons rely on this info to the motor neuoron, activating releveant skeletal muscles to enable movement

Question 8

neurons

Answer 8

building blocks of our human nervous sytem

Question 9

neurotrasnimters

Answer 9

help transmit messages beteen nerve cells.

Question 10

release?

Answer 10

when electrical signal reaches end of neuron, it triggers the release of neorotransmitters into the synapse, which then bind to receptors on the recieving neuron

Question 11

steps

Answer 11

1.released at the axon terminal
2.travel across the synaptic gap
3.bind themselves to the receptor sites of post synaptic neuron
