The faster the reflex the faster the afferent and efferent pathway is. Subjects 1‚ 3 and 5 experienced reaction times that were under the average of 195.167 milliseconds. While Subjects 2‚ 4 and 6 experienced times that were over the average of the population. In general terms it could be said that subjects 1‚3 and 5 have better hand and eye coordination than subjects 2‚ 4‚ and 6 do. This means that the impulse traveled faster throughout the brain to the hand. Having a faster reflex can be learned

Anticholinergic (Parasympatholytic) Bronchodilators History and Development The prototype anticholinergic agent is atropine‚ which is found naturally in the plants Atropa belladonna and the Datura species. Scopalamine is also extracted from the belladonna plant‚ and both atropine and scopolamine are called belladonna alkaloids. |Agent |Date |Event | |Belladonna

The cough reflex is used to clear sputum and irritants that are in the nasal passages and pharynx. There are cilia in her trachea that is moving mucus up from the lungs. When the mucus becomes abundant it triggers the cough reflex. c. There are macrophages found in the terminal bronchioles and alveoli that normally would protect Cari’s lungs from infectious pathogens

Stage | Age | Characteristics | Developmental Changes | Sensorimotor Stage | Birth to 2 Years | The infant knows the world through their movements and sensations. | Infants learn that things continue to exist even though they cannot be seen (object permanence).They are separate beings from the people and objects around them. They realize that their actions can cause things to happen in the world around them. Learning occurs through assimilation and accommodation. | Preoperational Stage

natural reflex (anxiety‚ and fear) in response to a stimulus (public speaking)‚ this concept is known as Classical Conditioning (“Behaviorism”‚ 2011). Classical conditioning occurs‚ when a stimulus (possibly a conditioned stimulus‚ CS) elites and unconditioned response (US)‚ or a reflex. Conditioning stimulus (CS) is ignited through environmental factors‚ in Bill’s case the CS could be people cracking jokes‚ or incorporating humor during Bill’s speech can stimulate a natural response or reflex (US)

French neurologist who discovered several reflexive signs for diagnosing impairment of the central nervous system. The Babinski reflex of the toes in infants is often used in introductory psychology texts as an example of an innate reflex that disappears with growth of the nervous system. A reflex used to determine adequacy of the higher (central) nervous system. Babinski reflex is one of the reflexes that occurs in infants. Reflexes are responses that occur when the body receives a certain stimulus.

Classical conditioning is essentially taking an innate or unconditioned reflex that occurs in the presence of an unconditioned stimulus and pairing it with a neutral stimulus‚ then removing the unconditioned stimulus which results in the producing the unconditioned reflex with the occurrence of the neutral

Evaluate and distinguish among the divisions and functions of the ANS and the importance of dual innervations. The homeostatic capability of the body involves an internal balance in order for the body to properly function. This system is known as dual innervations. These are innervations affected by two systems known as the parasympathetic and sympathetic nerve systems. The effector organs for the sympathetic system include: the smooth muscle of blood vessels‚ lungs‚ viscera‚ scalp‚ pupils‚ the heart

As part of a bodily reflex‚ you may produce more saliva just before vomiting. Vomiting is a complex‚ coordinated reflex orchestrated by the vomiting center of the brain. It responds to signals coming from: •The mouth‚ stomach‚ and intestines •The bloodstream‚ which may contain medicines or infections •The balancing
