Question
Explain why we give slow response compared to reflex in any activity involved thinking.
✓
Answer
Thinking is a complex activity and it is bound to involve a complicated interaction of many nerve impulses from many neurons.
$\rightarrow$ Thinking centres are located in fore-brain. It receives signals through nerves (Sensory) from various parts of the body. Thinking centres analyse the signals and prepare the instructions. From brain instructions are transmitted to effector organ through nerves (Motor).
$\rightarrow$ It takes more time to respond.
$\rightarrow$ In reflex action, instruction is generally given by spinal cord. So, the time to transmit impulse from organs to brain and from brain back to organ is saved in reflex action. That is why we give slow response when thinking is involved.
