Question

1.What is unique about the reflex behavior?

The messages never reach the central nervous system

It originates in the spinal cord, not the brain

It is localized in the cerebellum instead of the cortex

It only uses the autonomic nervous system

2.The peripheral nervous system is made up of:

The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems

The autonomic and somatic systems

The environment and sensory receptors

The brain and spinal cord

3.Which of the following behavior would be associated with the SOMATIC nervous system?

Breathing during sleep

Heartbeat

Scratching an itch on your head

Sweating

4.In regards to the Autonomic nervous system, Sympathetic is to Parasympathetic as:

Automatic Behaviors: Voluntary Behaviors

Calms you down; Reacts to threat

Voluntary Behaviors

Reacts to a threat; Calms you down

5.Sensory nerves that carry information from the environment and bring it back to the the Central Nervous System are part of the

Sympathetic Nervous System

Parasympathetic Nervous System

Somatic Nervous System

Autonomic Nervous System

Answer 1

The thing that is unique about the reflex of behavior is it is involuntary and almost instantaneous reaction to a stimulus. Take plants for an example. Their stimuluses are tropisms. Phototropism is a reaction to a light source in order to achieve photosynthesis. Hydrotropism is a plant's reaction to a nearby water source, in which the plant's roots grow towards it. Geotropism is a plant's reaction to gravity, in which the plant's roots grow down, and the stem grows up.

The peripheral nervous system is made up of The brain and spinal cord.

The behavior that would be associated with the SOMATIC nervous system is scratching an itch on your head.

In regards to the autonomic nervous system, sympathetic is to parasympathetic as calms you down; reacts to threat.

Sensory nerves that carry information from the environment and bring it back to the central nervous system are part of the autonomic nervous system.
