Summary Introduction
To review:
The three examples of controlled conditions in the body, which keeps autonomic reflexes in homeostatic balance.
Introduction:
The autonomic reflexes are the responses, which occur when a nerve impulse passes through a visceral or autonomic reflex arc. The autonomic or visceral reflexes are vital in regulating the controlled conditions of the body.
