What part of the nervous system is responsible for the reflex arc?
The peripheral nerves and the spinal cord. When a reflex starts, the peripheral nerves in the arms or legs send a signal to the spinal cord. Normally that signal is sent on to the brain for processing. In a reflex, the spinal cord itself sends a response back to the arm or leg to move immediately.
How is reflex sympathetic dystrophy diagnosed?
confirmed by a local anesthetic block along sympathetic nerve paths in the hand or foot, depending on whether an arm or leg is affected.
Is a effector are skeletal muscles a somatic reflex or a autonomic reflex?
Somatic reflex
Is a Babinski reflex considered a superficial reflex?
yes it is considered as a superficial reflex
What reflex occurs when you touch a baby's cheek?
rooting reflex
Which reflex is trigger when a stranger suddenly grasp your arm?
The crossed-extensor reflex. The grasped arm is withdrawn while the other arm pushes you away from the stranger.
In a crossed extensor reflex if the right arm were grabbed it would flex and the left arm would?
Extend
If a bee sting on the right thigh causes a quick involuntary reaction of the right arm what kind of reflex occured?
If a bee sting on the right thigh causes a quick involuntary reaction of the right arm, this would be an example of an intersegmental reflex. This is an unconditioned reflex.
Is it possible to draw a reflex angle so the other angle formed by the arm is obtuse?
yes. if the reflex angle is 260 degrees, the other is 100 which is obtuse
Is it possible to draw a reflex angle so the other angle formed by the arm is stright?

Yes
When was reflex sympathetic dystrophy first noticed?
reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) was noticed during the civil war in patients who suffered pain following gunshot wounds that affected the median nerve (a major nerve in the arm).

Is the knee-jerk reflex a simple reflex stretch reflex or a spinal reflex?
spinal reflex
Is a gag reflex a somatic reflex?
No, a somatic reflex are the reflexes of the skeletal muscle movements. The gag reflex is considered to be an autonomic reflex.
How do you draw a reflex angle?
When an angle is drawn a small arc is normally placed near the vertex between the arms to show the angle. A reflex angle is one greater than 180°, so draw the two arms as normal and then draw a small arc around the vertex of the angle "outside" the arms of the angle, ie around the angle which is greater than 180° If the problem is how to draw the reflex angle with a protractor that only goes up to 180°, then note that "360° - the reflex angle" gives an angle which is less than 180° and can be measure by the 180° protractor. Draw one arm of the angle, measure the calculated angle (eg if the reflex angle was 200°, 360° - 200° = 160°, so measure 160°), draw the other arm, and then draw an arc around the vertex "outside" the arms to show the reflex angle (in the example, the 200° angle).
