Chapter 13.6, Problem 1QC
Summary Introduction

To review:

A reflex and overall sequence of a reflex.

Introduction:

The proper functioning of the nervous system requires morethan just sensory and motor impulses in isolation. All the sensory and motor information needs to be integrated in order to give a particular response to a particular stimulus. Such type of integrative responses are called reflexes.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
How does the circuitry of a reflex facilitate a rapid response?
What is the difference between stretch reflexes and superficial cord reflexes?
Why may it be functional that reflexes are often superior to the local responses?
