Inborn reflexes

What is an inborn reflex?

• An automatic, involuntary response to a stimulus that is present at birth.

• A reflex that is only present in adults

• A learned response to a stimulus that develops over time

• A conscious decision to react to a stimulus

Give an example of an inborn reflex in humans.

• Sneezing in response to a loud noise

• Blinking in response to a sudden bright light

• Laughing in response to a sudden touch

• Jumping in response to a sudden smell

Explain the difference between inborn reflexes and learned reflexes.

• Inborn reflexes are acquired through practice, while learned reflexes are innate and automatic.

• Inborn reflexes are voluntary, while learned reflexes are involuntary.

• Inborn reflexes are automatic and innate, while learned reflexes are acquired through experience and practice.

• Inborn reflexes are learned through experience, while learned reflexes are automatic and innate.

How do inborn reflexes help in protecting the body?

• By causing delayed and slow responses to potential threats

• By allowing for quick and automatic responses to potential threats or dangers.

• By increasing the risk of injury and harm to the body

• By making the body more vulnerable to external dangers

Discuss the role of the spinal cord in inborn reflexes.

• It allows for rapid, automatic responses to certain stimuli without the need for input from the brain.

• It only allows for voluntary responses

• It slows down the body's response to stimuli

• It has no role in inborn reflexes

What are the different types of inborn reflexes?

• Sensory reflexes, motor reflexes, and mixed reflexes

• Simple reflexes, complex reflexes, and compound reflexes

• Voluntary reflexes, involuntary reflexes, and conscious reflexes

• Spinal reflexes, cranial reflexes, and autonomic reflexes

Explain the concept of reflex arcs in inborn reflexes.

• Reflex arcs are only present in voluntary actions.

• Reflex arcs are neural pathways that control reflex actions.

• Reflex arcs are caused by the body's inability to control its movements.

• Reflex arcs are related to the study of astrology.

How do inborn reflexes develop in infants?

• Learned through observation and imitation

• Develop as a result of early childhood experiences

• Acquired through formal education and training

• Genetic programming and maturation of the nervous system

Discuss the importance of inborn reflexes in survival.

• Survival does not depend on inborn reflexes

• Inborn reflexes are not important for survival

• Inborn reflexes allow for quick and automatic responses to potential threats or dangers.

• Inborn reflexes only cause unnecessary reactions

Can inborn reflexes be modified or controlled? Explain.

• Yes, they can be modified through training

• No

• Yes, they can be controlled through meditation

• No, they are fixed and cannot be changed
