Name two somatic reflexes in which the higer brain centers participate?
The Human Reflex Physiology Review Sheet states that "Conversely, other reflexes require the involvement of the brain, since many different inputs must be evaluated before the appropriate reflex is determined. Superficial cord reflexes and pupillary responses to light are in this category" (p. 342).
What cord mediated reflexes?
The knee and elbow reflexes
The brain is deep or superficial to the spine cord?
superficial to the spinal cord.
Do reflexes always involve the spinal cord?
Yes, the spinal cord controls ALL of your reflexes!
What are two somatic reflexes in which the higher brain centers participate?
The Human Reflex Physiology Review Sheet states that "Conversely, other reflexes require the involvement of the brain, since many different inputs must be evaluated before the appropriate reflex is determined. Superficial cord reflexes and pupillary responses to light are in this category" (p. 342).
What responsible for autonomic reflexes?
spinal cord
What reflexes classified as somatic reflexes?
