To determine: The terms short reflex and long reflex, and the response regulated by the short reflex.
Introduction: A reflex is a fast movement of a body part in response to the stimulus. It occurs through a neural pathway that is called the reflex arc.
To determine: The response regulated by the short reflex.
Introduction: The reflex arc acts on the impulses before an impulse reaches the brain.
A reflex is defined as the response of the body to the stimulus. It occurs through a neural pathway that is called the reflex arc.
To determine: The terms long reflex.
Introduction: the reflexes are categorized in two type, somatic reflexes and visceral reflexes. Somatic reflexes involves sensory neurons whereas, visceral neurons involve craniosacral system.

- What is the advantage to having relatively few neurons in a reflex arc pathway?arrow_forwardWhat are all the five reflex arc components for the Ciliospinal Reflex? What is the receptor, the type of the receptor, its location for this reflex? What sensory neuron takes the information to the control center? Is the control center in brain or in the spinal cord? What motor neuron is involved in this reflex? What is the effector for this reflex?arrow_forwardDistinguish between each of the following pairs of reflexes: somatic versus visceral reflexes and monosynaptic versus polysynaptic reflexes?arrow_forward
- What are the components of a reflex arc and what is the difference between a somatic motor reflex and a visceral reflex arc?arrow_forwardWhy must the withdrawal reflex, but not the stretch reflex, involve a polysynaptic reflex arc?arrow_forwardWhat are the neural pathways involved in the knee-jerk reflex?arrow_forward
- What is Reflexes?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the correct order of components in a reflex? Place in correct order stimulus, effector, efferent pathway, integrating center, afferent pathway, receptor?arrow_forwardReciprocal inhibition between reflexes depends upon all the following,except :-a- presence of inhibitory interneurons in the reflex pathwaysb- presence of excitatory interneurons in the reflex pathwaysc- presence of anion channels in membranes of the involved neuronsd- release of inhibitory transmitters which block cation channels in the reflex pathwaysarrow_forward
