Question

Outline what has to occur in the body for a reflex and a voluntary action to occur.

Answer 1

Answer:

For involuntary actions (reflexes) the information is first detected in the sensor and travels along sensory neurons to the spinal cord. Once the action potential reaches the spinal cord, the information is transmitted across the synapse to the motor neuron. for voluntary actions,

movements are commanded by the motor cortex, the zone of the cerebrum located behind the frontal lobe. The motor cortex sends a neural message that moves through the brain stem along the spinal cord and into the neural network to the muscle being commanded.
