What are reflexes?
Actions performed in response to a stimulus with conscious thought
Actions performed in response to a stimulus without conscious thought
Actions performed in response to a stimulus with deliberate actions
Actions performed in response to a stimulus with decision making
How do reflexes help us?
By minimizing potential damage to the body
By involving the brain in the reflex actions
By reducing the chances of being injured or killed
By following a sequence that involves the brain
How are reflexes and the Central Nervous System related?
They are not related
Reflexes are controlled by the Central Nervous System
Reflexes are independent of the Central Nervous System
Reflexes are only related to the brain
What is a reflex arc?
A sequence of actions performed in response to a stimulus
A pathway followed by a reflex action
A type of reflex that involves the brain
A reflex that occurs in the spinal cord
How do reflexes prevent your eyes from being damaged?
By involving the brain in the reflex actions
By triggering muscles to contract and move away from the danger
By following a sequence that involves the conscious part of the brain
By sending information to the brain for processing
What is the purpose of reflex actions?
To involve the brain in the response to a stimulus
To perform deliberate actions in response to a stimulus
To automatically and quickly respond to stimuli without conscious thought
To follow a sequence that involves the conscious part of the brain
During a soccer game, Anika accidentally kicks the ball towards Noah's face. What is the advantage of Noah's reflex action to protect his face?
They are faster than deliberate actions
They involve the brain in decision making
They prevent chronic stress or panic attacks
They are necessary for survival
What is the general sequence followed by a reflex action?
Stimulus, Receptor, Effector, Response
Sensory Neuron, Motor Neuron, Interneuron
Spinal cord, Brain, Sensory Neuron, Motor Neuron
Decision Making, Interneuron, Effector, Response
During a game of catch, when does decision making occur in the reflex arc for Liam to catch the ball?
During the sensory neuron stage
During the motor neuron stage
During the interneuron stage
During the brain stage
What is the role of the brain in a reflex arc?
To bypass information and occur mostly in the spinal cord
To receive information and be involved in the reflex
To prevent injury and minimize potential damage to the body
To trigger muscles to contract and move away from the danger
