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 basic difference between a local homeostatic response and a reflex?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_forwardWhat are Protective Reflexes?arrow_forward
- How is a short reflex distinguished from a long reflex?arrow_forwardWhat 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_forward
- Which 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_forward2) 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_forward
- Describe a simple stretch reflex, a flexion reflex, and a crossedextension reflex?arrow_forwardWhat are the five reflex arc components for the Achilles Tendon Reflex? Receptor, the type of the receptor, the location The sensory neuron The control center The motor neuron The effectorarrow_forwardUse 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)arrow_forward
