What enables our bodies to react really quickly to a stimulus?

• Conscious responses

• Reflex reactions

• Delayed reactions

• Voluntary actions

What are reflex reactions?

• Voluntary behaviors

• Immediate unconscious responses to a stimulus

• Conscious actions

• Delayed responses to a stimulus

What are reflex arcs?

• Shorter pathways for immediate responses

• Conscious actions

• Learned responses

• Involuntary behaviors

What is the purpose of reflex reactions?

• To facilitate survival and protect the body from damage

• To delay the response to a stimulus

• To bypass the spinal cord

• To provide conscious control over responses

What happens when a signal bypasses the brain and is acted upon as soon as it reaches the spinal cord?

• The response is voluntary

• The response is immediate

• The response is conscious

• The response is delayed

What is the purpose of the nerve message being passed on to the brain in reflex reactions?

• To delay the response

• To think about whether any further action is needed

• To bypass the spinal cord

• To initiate the response

What is the role of the motor neuron in reflex reactions?

• To bypass the spinal cord

• To initiate the response

• To produce a response

• To delay the response

What is the immediate response to a stimulus in reflex reactions called?

• Involuntary behavior

• Conscious response

• Delayed reaction

• Reflex arc

What is the purpose of reflex arcs in the body?

• To delay the response to a stimulus

• To provide conscious control over responses

• To facilitate survival and protect the body from damage

• To enable immediate unconscious responses to a stimulus

What is the function of sensory neurons in reflex reactions?

• To delay the response

• To detect the stimulus and send signals to the central nervous system

• To bypass the spinal cord

• To initiate the response
