Reflex activity can be modified by the cerebral cortex. For example, you are baking a roast in the oven. As you are moving the r

oast from the oven to the counter, hot juices splash you. Reflex activity would cause you to drop the pan, but you hold on to it. Explain how the cerebral cortex overrides the reflex.

Answer:

There are different types of reflexes, and some of them can be controlled voluntarily due to cortical processing.

Explanation:

Even if there is an initial myotactic reflex of moving away from the heat, the cortical processing that is subject to learning makes you not let go of the pan. It should be noted that there are different types of reflexes, and not all postural reactions are automatic. The cerebral cortex influences voluntary postural adjustment movements. Such control is mainly performed by the brain stem, where ocurrs the modulation of motor neurons and spinal cord interneurons through the lateral descending (fine movements) and medial (posture and balance) downward pathways.

Living things come from other living things through either sexual or asexual reproduction.
Iteru [2.4K]

Explanation:

Organisms don’t have to only reproduce sexually or only reproduce asexually - some animals do both!

When conditions are good, such organisms will reproduce asexually because it is easier. For example, starfish (by fragmentation), slime molds, and water fleas/daphnia (by parthenogenesis) all reproduce asexually when there is plenty of food, minimal predators, and not too much crowding of individuals of the same species.

When conditions worsen (less food, too many individuals, etc), they may switch to sexual reproduction in order to add genetic variation to their population and ensure survival through difficult times.

Drag and drop a term to match these examples with the correct level of organization. Organ Organ system Tissue
sineoko [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as the term to match with the level of organisation is not included, the terms are;

circulatory system

cardiac muscle

heart

human body

The ANSWER is:

Organ = heart

Organ system = circulatory system

Tissue: cardiac muscle

Explanation:

The level of organization of multicellular organisms is made up of cell, tissue, organ, organ system and eventually organism.

- The tissue is composed of several cell, which are basic units of any living organism. Cells that perform similar function come together to form the tissue. Example is the CARDIAC MUSCLE in this question, which is a muscular tissue made up of cells called myocardiocytes.

- Organs are structures formed as a result of collection of tissues with similar function. For example, the HEART is a circulatory organ made up of cardiac tissues, connective tissues etc.

- Organ systems is made up of organs that perform the same function in a living organism. In the case of the CIRCULATORY SYSTEM, it is made up of organs such as heart, blood vessels, lungs etc.

1.What taxon (classification levels) are represented by the scientific name of an organism? What are the rules for writing the s
Ksivusya [100]

<u>Answer</u>:

1.a) Species. It is the lowest taxon and represents the scientific name of the organism.

b) The species name is part of the binomial system of nomenclature developed by Linnaeus.

Thus it is composed of two parts each with its own writing rules (ex. gray wolf - <em>Canis lupus</em>):

A. the genus or generic name

- written first

- always underlined or italicized

- the first letter is always capitalized

ex. <em>Canis</em>

B. the specific epithet or species name

- is written second

- always underlined or italicized

- never capitalized

ex. <em>lupus</em>

<em />

2. The results should always be the same. A dichotomous key is an identification tool based on a series of choices between alternative characters (dichotomous = divided into two parts). Thus, there is no room for subjective observation that may lead to another result. If the morphological traits of the organism are correctly identified, the the result should always be the same. Any differences occur due to errors on the scientist's part.
