The knee jerk reflex is an example of a?

A reflex is a rapid, involuntary response to a stimulus. A reflex arc is the pathway traveled by the nerve impulses during a reflex.Most reflexes are spinal reflexes with pathways that traverse only the spinal cord. During a spinal reflex, information may be transmitted to the brain, but it is the spinal cord, and not the brain, that is responsible for the integration of sensory information and a response transmitted to motor neurons.Information is sent to the brain but that takes awhile longer.

What is the difference between a simple spinal reflex and a complex reaction?

Simple spinal reflex is when the afferent receptor synapses directly with an efferent neuron and subsequently an effector cell/tissue. This will all take place in the spinal cord. A complex reaction will involve an intermediary interneuron or even the brain for 'processing' before synapsing with an efferent neuron and target tissue.

CAN reflex action controlled by spinal cord?

Simple reflexes are controlled by the spinal cord. The message travels from the sense receptors near the skin through the afferent nerve fibers to the spinal cord. In the spinal cord, the messages are relayed through association neurons to the efferent nerve fibers, which carry them to the muscle cells that cause the reflex movement.
