The simplest reflexes are mediated at the level of the?
spinal cord
How does the cerebral cortex overrides the reflex?
The cerebral cortex can not over ride reflexes. Reflex are mediated at the level of the spinal cord.
What is the superficial cord reflex?
Superficial cord reflexes are the reflexes that happen when the body is exposed to pain. Superficial cord reflexes are centered in the spinal cord not the brain.
Do reflexes always involve the spinal cord?
Yes, the spinal cord controls ALL of your reflexes!
What responsible for autonomic reflexes?
spinal cord
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).
Why reflexes are quickly?
reflexes work very quickly, this is because your brain and spinal cord are processing data and information.
What is the processing center of a visceral reflex?
is a mediated in a manner similar to the knee jerk reflex: activation of the receptor, transmission of a sensory information to the CNS, the processing of the information by the CNS, and the motor response sent to the effector organ.
Do reflexes occur in the spinal cord?
the spinal cords role in reflexes is to help you move about when it is needed when reacting to a stimuli
Spinal reflexes are produced in what?
Introduction. Spinal cord reflexes are simple behaviors produced by central nervous system (CNS) pathways that lie entirely within the spinal cord. The sensory afferent fibers that evoke these reflexes enter the spinal cord and activate spinal motor neurons directly or through a chain of one or more spinal interneurons
What are the three major functions of the spinal cord?
conduction,locomotion,reflexes
What is the area of the nervous system that is responsible for mediating reflexes?
The spinal cord.
