Plantar Reflex 6. Check this reflex in a classmate by using the blunt metal end of a reflex hammer and gently stroking the sole of the foot from the heel, distal on the lateral aspect of the forefoot then curving towards the hallux. What was the result? Was it a normal response or a Babinski's sign? 334 Nervous System: Reflexes | Laboratory 15

Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/motorpathway) to learn more about the descending motor pathway for the somatic nervous system. The autonomic connections are mentioned, which are covered in another chapter. From this brief video, only some of the descending motor pathway of the somatic nervous system is described. Which division of the pathway is described and which division is left out?

Pupillary Light Reflex 1 Is this reflex a somatic or autonomic reflex? 2 Identify the nerve that is carrying the sensory information from the eye to the brain. 3 Identify the cranial nerve carrying the preganglionic parasympathetic axons to the ciliary ganglia. 4 Is this a monosynaptic or polysynaptic reflex? 5 Is the pupillary light reflex ipsilateral, contralateral, or both?
Reflex output is initiated by an input stimulus and result in an output response. Reflex activity ranges from simple to complex. In a table format, list the different types of reflex and how to assess these functions.
After-discharge of reflex responses :-a- increase the magnitude of the reflex responsesb- delays the onset of fatigue of reflex responsesc- involves interneuron circuitsd- depends upon spatial summation
Central delay of reflex actions :-a- is due to presence of inhibitory interneurons in the reflex pathwayb- is the time between stimulation of receptors and response of the effector musclec- is longer in the flexor reflex than in the stretch reflexd- is determined by the velocity of conduction of impulses along the afferent and efferent neurons in the reflex pathway
Interneuron after-discharge circuits prolong the duration of :-a- sensory input to the spinal motor centersb- synaptic delay in central synapsesc- discharge of efferent neuronsd- conscious perception of the evoked sensation
Neuroscience Students are celebrating the end of the year and have gotten together for a few ice-old Pepsi’s. Sarvesh holds out his mug for a refill and when Nicole starts to pour soda in, the mug slips down slightly but Sarvesh quickly recovers to prevent his mug from spilling. Which of the following does NOT occur in this reflex circuit?Group of answer choicesThe added load of the soda stretches the intrafusal muscle fibers of the bicepSensory neurons from the muscle spindle synapse onto α motor neurons and interneuronsThe rate of action potential firing increases in the muscle spindle fiberExcitation of motor neurons innervating the bicep muscleAll of the above *do* occur
