What structure controls simple reflexes?
Reflex responses are controlled in your spinal chord, not in your brain (;- your welcome
Identify the components of the spinal reflex arc?
your spinal reflex is controlled ny the nerve going from the spine to the brain in 1941 Anthony madrado die from slow spinal; reflexes
Do reflexes always involve the spinal cord?
Yes, the spinal cord controls ALL of your reflexes!
What is controlled by the spinal cord?
The whole body. The spinal cord acts as the transmission system that transmits nervous signals from the brain to the rest of our body. Also, the spinal cord controls numerous nervous reflexes in our body. It is about 45 cm long for men and 43 cm long for women.
What cord mediated reflexes?
The knee and elbow reflexes
Example of reflex action?
reacting when someone flashes his or her hand to your face that includes blinking-------------------------------------------------------A reflex action is a sudden reaction to a stimuli (a change in the environment) & often acts to protect you.Some are controlled by the brain (cranial reflexes) such as when you blink as dust lands in your eye, or your pupil gets smaller as light is shone in your eye.Some reflexes are controlled by the spinal cord (spinal reflexes) such as when you touch a hot object or stand on a pin.Some reflexes can have learnt responses so they are calledconditioned reflexes. These reflexes occur without you even thinking about them e.g. walking & producing saliva when you smell food.
What an example of a reflex action?
One example of a reflex is when your leg jerks after a doctor hits it with a hammer.-------------------------------------------A reflex action is a sudden reaction to a stimuli (a change in the environment) & often acts to protect you.Some are controlled by the brain (cranial reflexes) such as when you blink as dust lands in your eye, or your pupil gets smaller as light is shone in your eye.Some reflexes are controlled by the spinal cord (spinal reflexes) such as when you touch a hot object or stand on a pin.Some reflexes can have learnt responses so they are called conditioned reflexes.

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
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.
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 responsible for autonomic reflexes?
spinal cord
What reflexes classified as somatic reflexes?
There are 5 somatic reflexes, stretch (spinal), crossed extensor (spinal), superficial cord (spinal), corneal (cranial), and gag (cranial).Involuntary automatic responses to sensory stimulation, for example, the knee-jerk reaction when tapped.Note: Reflexes, such as the contraction / dilation of the pupil, salivation when hungry are all controlled by autonomic reflexes.
