If you are nervous your immune make more adrenalin. Adrenalin is a think, what makes u happyer stronger etc... So adrenalin also increase your reflexes.

∙ 14y agoA reflex action, also known as a reflex, is an involuntary and nearly instantaneous movement in response to a stimulus. In most contexts, in particular those involving humans, reflex actions are mediated via the reflex arc; this is not always true in other animals, nor does it apply to casual uses of the term 'reflex'.
Reflexes are supposed to keep you away from danger, like blinking your eyes our sneezing to keep out dust.

How does the nervous muscluar and skeletal system help with reflexes?
not available at this time
What are the quick protective reactions that occur within your nervous system called?
"reflexes"
What part of your nervous system control simple reflexes?
The autonomic nervous system does. It works at the level of the spinal cord.

How does the repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system? How does the repair of nerve fibers differ in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system? We can help our nervous systems by improving our reflexes
What are the reflexes of a newborn?
There area few reflexes when coming to a newborn. The main reflex would be the central nervous system.
What is the area of the nervous system that is responsible for mediating reflexes?
The spinal cord.
Why do Pediatricians usually test newborn reflexes?
To confirm correct formation of their nervous system.
Which human body systems are directly involved in reflex actions such as knee jerk blinking and jumping when startled?
Nervous system and Muscular system usually. For some, the Sensory system, a part of the Nervous system, also has to do with reflexes.
How is reflex handled in the nervous system?
I'm not positive, but I think that reflexes are controlled by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The SNS is responsible for fight-or-flight responses. For example, if you see a shark coming directly at you, you decide to try to either get away from it (flight) or fight it off (fight). Reflexes are mediated by reflex arcs, which are neural pathways. Some sensory neurons pass directly to the synapse of the spinal cord, rather than the brain. This allows reflexes to occur relatively quickly.
What part of the central nervous system controls reflexes?
A reflex arc is a neutral pathway in the central nervous system. It controls reflex action. The sensory neurons do not directly pass into brain but go through spinal chord. Spinal chord can independently control many reflexes.
How good are the reflexes of baby elephants?
the reflexes of a baby elephant are not as good as an adults because the baby is not as formed as an adult, however an elephants general reflexes are slowed as the nervous system is longer extending the reaction time.
What is nervous system depression?
Nervous system depression is not the same thing as depression where you feel sad. It means slowing down of the nervous system. Nervous system depression causes things like slowed heartbeat, dulled mental ability, and slow reflexes. Some drugs and medical conditions can cause this. Sedatives are one medication that causes depression of the nervous system.
