Somatic reflexes act faster than visceral reflexes.These are all reasons for this except
A)effector pathway in the somatic reflex arc is myelinated
B)effector pathway in the visceral reflex arc involves more neurons
C)effector pathway in the visceral reflex arc involves more chemical synapses
D)some of the neurons in the effector pathway in the visceral reflex arc are unmyelinated
E)effector organs in the somatic reflex are closer to the spinal cord

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The proximity of effector organs to the spinal cord does not affect the speed of reflexes. The speed is primarily influenced by myelination and the number of neurons and synapses involved.
