Question
Chapter 39, Problem 2AC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The adaptive value of the reflexes.
Introduction:
A reflex is an involuntary action that human body produce when human comes in contact with the dangerous and harmful stimuli. A reflex action is followed by the neural pathway. A spinal cord is the medium by which motor and sensory impulses are carried out to and from the brain.
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason why not all behaviour would be controlled by reflexes.
Introduction:
A reflex action is followed by the neural pathway. A spinal cord is the way by which motor and sensory impulses are carried out to and from the brain. Withdrawal reflex is a spinal reflex produce by spinal cord, which is meant to protect the body from damaging stimuli.
