1. Compare the reaction times for voluntary vs. involuntary activation of the quadriceps muscle. What might account for the observed differences in reaction times? Outline what has to occur in the body for each reaction to occur. Refer to your drawing from Step 24. Information from the flow chart you created in Activity 2.2.1 might also be helpful. The involuntary activation of the quadriceps muscle was faster than voluntary time; the reason could be that when you had to hear the sound for

stimulus is called a reflex. This action is controlled by the human nervous system and is considered an involuntary response – it happens without our even having to think about it. On the other hand‚ voluntary responses occur when we have to think to react. It is possible to stop a reflex reaction‚ but it would take a lot of voluntary control. A good example of a reflex is the “knee-jerk” response the doctor tests during a physical examination. In a healthy person‚ this stretch reflex maintains posture

Brief History of Canon Cameras | | | | | | 1933. Goro Yoshida and his brother-in-law‚ Sabura Uchida‚ founded the Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory. The goal: to make cameras to compete with the most advanced German models of the day. 1934. Japan’s first domestically-made 35mm focal-plane shutter camera‚ the "Kwanon’ -- named after the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. 1935. "Canon" trademark registered. 1935. Hansa Canon cameras offered for sale at half the price of a Leica.

Reflex acts were one of the first human reactions to being studied. Descartes was the first beginning a study model of reflex acts‚ this to be able to demonstrate that the body worked like any other machine. Another scientist in studying this phenomenon‚ Robert Whytt. He was a Scottish physicist and physicist. He inclined his research around action-reflex‚ differentiating voluntary and involuntary movements. Describing the pupil reflex to light (reflecting Whytt)‚ he further proposed that the arches

The basic properties of a reflex are defined as involuntary‚ stereotypes‚ and graded. A reflex is an involuntary and stereotyped movement that elicit by a stimulus. When the response of a reflex is graded‚ the strength stimulation is proportional to the stimulus strength. Most reflexes are unlearned; however‚ some reflexes can be learned as a result of practice and learning. The five components of a reflex arc are receptor‚ integrator‚ afferent nerve fiber‚ efferent nerve fiber‚ and effector. These

It is very obvious that the team members of Rankin were all suffering from stress or even worst the burnt-out syndrome. Generally‚ stress is real and it is painful for everybody concerned. It damages the individual‚ the team and the business. If Rankin would watch out for it‚ address the problem

Usually‚ simple reflexes like the myotactic reflexes are produced through single synapses occurring between motor neurons and sensory axons. The required circuitry for this reflex is confirmed in the spinal cord. The sensory information generated is then transferred to the nervous system. More complex reflexes usually involve

Developmental Milestones in the First Two Years of Life Many of us have had the opportunity to observe infants and how they develop through time‚ whether it is our children‚ siblings‚ or just a family friend we can all agree it is extremely interesting to watch children grow.
