What is the effector muscle of a biceps reflex?
The effector muscle is the biceps brachii.
Is an effector of a skeletal muscle a somatic reflex?
Yes, the effector of a skeletal muscle is part of a somatic reflex. Somatic reflexes involve the contraction of skeletal muscles in response to a stimulus, and the effector in this case is the skeletal muscle itself that carries out the response.
In this reflex action the muscle acts as the ....?
Effector
What is an effector cell?
The effector cell responds to a nerve impulse and can be either a muscle cell or a gland cell.
What is the effector in the patellar reflexes?
The quadriceps femoris muscle.
What is the difference between a stimulus impulse receptor and effector?
A Receptor is referring to a sense organ, like a nerve ending. An Effector is referring to a muscle capable of reflecting to a stimulus. By definition, receptor and effector are antonyms.
What is an example of an effector?
In biology, an effector is an organ that reacts to the external stimuli on receiving signals from the central nervous system. An example is when the adrenal gland secretes adrenaline in response to stress or danger.
What is effector muscle for calcaneal reflex action?
The effector muscle for the calcaneal reflex (also known as the Achilles reflex) is the gastrocnemius muscle in the calf. When the Achilles tendon is tapped, it causes a contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle, resulting in plantar flexion of the foot.
What is the effector of the Achilles reflex?
gastrocnemius muscle
What tissue is the effector when you get stabbed with a nail?
Muscle tissue would be the effector in this scenario, as it contracts and moves in response to the stimulus of getting stabbed with a nail.
A muscle or gland that is regulated by nerve input is termed?
an effector
How does effector relate to reflex arc?
An effector is a part of the body (such as a muscle or gland) that carries out the response in a reflex arc. In a reflex arc, when a stimulus is detected by a sensory receptor, a message is sent via a sensory neuron to the spinal cord, where it is processed, and then a message is sent via a motor neuron to the effector causing a response.
