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.

Use logic to determine whether each of the following reflexes is a somatic reflex or an autonomic (visceral) reflex. Hint: think about what the effector is — is it a skeletal muscle, or is it a smooth / cardiac muscle or gland?
-Patellar (knee-jerk) reflex
-Pupillary light reflex (autonomic/somatic)
-Effectors are skeletal muscles (autonomic/somatic)
-Effectors are smooth muscles or glands (autonomic/somatic)
-Regulation of blood pressure (autonomic/somatic)
-Salivary reflex (autonomic/somatic)
What is the basic difference between a local homeostatic response and a reflex?
The Baroreceptor reflex illustrates very well the principles and elements of a negative feedback loop.1) What is the typical circumstance in which the baroreceptor reflex is stimulated? What is the stimulus for the reflex and the response?2a) Using the terms for a homeostatic negative feedback loop or a reflex, describe both the function AND anatomical elements serving that function for each of the following as it applies to the baroreceptor reflex known as: an effector.
2b) applied to the baroreceptor reflex known as: the integration center?
