Brain POWER!

The brain is made up of cerebrums, both left and right and also cerebellum and medulla oblongata. these parts contributes to the voluntary action of the body. When you want to do something, your brain “asks” your body parts to do the job. However, there’s also this reflex action which is conducted through the reflex arc without the brain signaling it to do something. Rather, the body “thinks” for itself and does the supposedly right things.

Hmmm… reflex action is an involuntary action that occurs automatically and spontaneously without conscious control towards a stimulus which is controlled by the spinal cord instead of the cerebrum. Well, it is a form of protection against dangerous situations as well as a form of adaptation to any changes in the environment.

Do people know how this works?? It’s actually started when a stimulus is detected at the receptor. The receptor will transfer information in form of nerve impulses through the afferent neurone which consists of synapses which are interlinked with interneurones to efferent neuron, where the reflex action will be carried out. Note that the nerve impulse did not went through the brain cerebrum, which acts as the central controlling centre (CCC). This means that reflex actions were conducted without the brain thinking about it.

Some reflex actions includes knee jerk when patella is hitted, withdrawal of hand from hot objects, blinking of the eye, change in size of the pupil of the eye, and body balance. However, I can never find any formal recordings about talking actually sometimes is considered as a reflex action too. This is because people tend to talk without thinking and sometimes it’ll hurt other people feelings.

Well, I sometimes also speak without properly thinking too……. Maybe “this kind” of people have their brain built in such a way that the verbal function is listed under the involuntary action list. Hmmmm…….

It’ll be one of the things I want to change. Maybe I’ll just pluck of the verbal nerve from the “involuntary section “ and attach it to the “voluntary section”. That should do the magic.
