The answer is reflex action. Impulse that triggers a reflex action does not pass through the brain so as to shorten the time for response. It passes through a reflex arch and this is why the muscles are contracted even without time to think of what happened. The sensory and motor neurons only arch at the spinal cord.

What does it mean when we say a gene is turned off?
vichka [17]
When a gene is turned off, It no longer provides the directions for making proteins. this means that the proteins needed to fulfill a particular job ( let’s say, tolerate lactose ) aren’t produced.
