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 are the components of a reflex arc and what is the difference between a somatic motor reflex and a visceral reflex arc?arrow_forwardThe 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?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_forward
- Draw a well labelled diagram of reflex arc?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_forwardWhat is the physiological function of chemical and electrical synapses between reflexes (eg. a Knee Reflex and jerk reflex).arrow_forward
- 2) The correct order of a reflex arc is: a) sensory neuron, sensory receptor, interneuron, motor neuron, effector b) sensory neuron, sensory receptor, interneuron, effector, motor neuron c) sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, effector d) sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, effector, motor neuronarrow_forwardDescribe a simple stretch reflex, a flexion reflex, and a crossedextension reflex?arrow_forwardUsing 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: a.) motor pathway b.) receptors c.) sensory pathwaysarrow_forward
