What is an fact about the medulla oblongata?
It has the mechanisms for controlling our body's reflex activities such as coughing and vomiting
Is salivation an automatic reflex?
The withdrawal reflex is both a somatic and autonomic reflex (brain). Withdrawal from a painful stimulus is one test used in brain injury. Without the somatic connection to the autonomic brain areas, you'd have no withdrawal reflex at all when something interferes with that connection (such as brain injury or brain death).
What part of brain controls pupil dilation?
Edinger-Westphal nucleus of the brainstem controls the pupil reflex. An ER doctor who looks at the response to a pen light is checking on brain stem activity.
Why brain is not involve during reflex actions?
A reflex action or reflex arc bypasses the brain as to decrease transmission time from detection to response, i.e. the time it takes for the body to initiate a response in relation to the effecting stimulus. This decrease in time allows for minimal damage to tissue or surrounding cells which may be affected by a certain stimulus.
What part of in pupil reflex for stimulus?
The stimulus in the pupil reflex would be light
Can part of the impulse in a reflex action reach the brain?
because it is the cells
Why is the patellar reflex called a somatic reflex?
The Patellar reflex is an example of a somatic reflex. This refers to the branch of the nervous system that the reflex pertains to. The somatic branch is part of the Peripheral Nervous system, meaning that it's reflex arc does not pass through the central nervous system (the spinal cord and the brain)
What is an fact about the medulla oblongata?
It has the mechanisms for controlling our body's reflex activities such as coughing and vomiting
What is the difference between a reflex arc and a normal nerve impulse?
A reflex arc doesn't go all the way up to the brain. Thus it NEVER becomes part of the thought process.

Without the somatic connection to the autonomic brain areas, you'd have no withdrawal reflex at all when something interferes with that connection (such as brain injury or brain death).
What part of the brain coordinates visual and auditory reflexes?
They are both located in the corpora quadrigemina.
What part of the brain is responsible for eating and licking reflexes?
The part of the brain responsible for eating are appetite centers of the amygdala and hypothalamus. The licking reflex is seen only certain animals but the centers are located in the medulla oblongata in the lower brainstem.
What is the part in reflex in the response?
Reflex action is your body's reflex against injury. It is needed in every part of your body.
What Part of the brain responsible for licking and eating reflexes?
The part of the brain responsible for eating are appetite centers of the amygdala and hypothalamus. The licking reflex is seen only certain animals but the centers are located in the medulla oblongata in the lower brainstem.
What part of brain controls pupil dilation?
Edinger-Westphal nucleus of the brainstem controls the pupil reflex. An ER doctor who looks at the response to a pen light is checking on brain stem activity.
Which portion of the human brain mediates simple reflexes such as sneezing coughing and salivating?
The medulla oblongata is a part of the brain stem involved in these reflexes. And no your eyes will not pop out if you sneeze with them open. Closing the eyes is part of the reflex and you have no control over reflexes.
