(a)
To determine: The part of the simple neural reflex that depicts the brain and spinal cord.
Introduction: The physiological reflex that controls the pathways is either mediated by the nervous system, the endocrine system, or a combination of two. The reflex that is solely mediated by the nervous system is known as a simple neural reflex.
(b)
To determine: The part of the simple neural reflex that depicts the central and peripheral sense organs.
Introduction: The neural reflex is a type of physiological reflex that controls the pathways of the nervous system. It occurs because the sensory neurons do not tend to pass directly into the brain; rather, they synapse in the spinal cord. This neural reflex explains how an internal or external change brings a change in the response.
(c)
To sketch: The negative feedback loop in a simple neural reflex that turns off the reflex by drawing a dashed line.
Introduction: The neural reflex controls the pathways of the nervous system in the form of a reflex arc. The stimulus activates the sensory receptor, after which the input signal is transferred to the central nervous stem. Then, the signal reaches the target and generates the response.

- Where is the cell body of the forth structure reflex arc located?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_forwardDraw a reflex arc in place in the nervous system (recall Figure 12.11). Would the reflex still function if the neurons in the sensory ganglia were destroyed?arrow_forward
- Describe what is the Stretch Reflex?arrow_forwardQuestion about anatomyarrow_forwardDescartes' version of the reflex arc was important for understanding the brain's role in sensation, perception and reactivity. Which feature of Descartes' reflex arc is comparable to neurotransmission through motor, inter, and sensory neurons in the present day reflex circuit? A) body activity B) External stimulus C) Valvules Opening D) Nerve stimulationarrow_forward
- Which nervous system component belongs to its corressponding motor pathway? Nervous System Compnent Motor Pathway Cerebellum A) plan and initiate voluntary movements Spinal Cord B) refine and adjust movements Brainstem C) relay commands to most muscles below the neck Frontal Lobe D) relay commands to muscles of facial expression, eye movement, chewing, and swallowingarrow_forwardWhich is the first reflex to disappear in an infant? A) Moro reflex B) Rooting reflex C) Grasp reflex D) Sucking reflexarrow_forwardAn object suddenly and quickly comes toward your face. You automatically and without thinking close your eyes. This is a reflex. Which of the following is the effector in this reflex? A) The sympathetic nervous system B) The brain C) Cardiac muscles D) Some skeletal musclesarrow_forward
