What properties are not of the stretch reflex?
It is a disynaptic reflex
Is the knee jerk reflex an extensor thrust reflex?
No, those are two different reflexes.
How many synapses are crossed in a single reflex arc during a muscle stretch reflex?
one
What occurs during the reflex arc.?
The pathway that an impulse travels from your foot back to your leg is an example of a reflex arc. A reflex arc includes a sensory receptor (in this case, a receptor in your toe), sensory neuron, motor neuron, and effector (leg muscle). Some reflex arcs include interneurons. In other reflex arcs, a sensory neuron communicates directly with a motor neuron.
What is the name of the reflex associated with the sensory stimulation of the pulmonary stretch receptors that stimulates a deeper breath upon inspiration?
The reflex associated with the sensory stimulation of the pulmonary stretch receptors is known as the Hering-Breuer reflex. It is responsible for inhibiting inspiration to prevent overinflation of the lungs, promoting expiration and maintaining normal breathing patterns.
The patellar reflex is a type of?
knee jerk aka patellar reflex is an example of a stretch reflex
Dynamic and static stretch reflex?
differentiate between a dynamic stretch reflex and a static stretch reflex
What is another name for muscle spindles?
Proprioceptors, stretch-reflex receptors.
What is a type of receptor that responds to changes in stretch of skeletal muscle and initiates a stretch reflex?
Muscle spindle receptors which are located in the belly's of muscles measure length of stretch and speed of change. They send this afferent neural information to the posterior horn of the spinal cord where and interneuron interprets the information and if the stretch is ballistic (if it changes length too rapidly) it will trigger an efferent motor unit, or many motor units, through the anterior horn of the spinal cord to contract the muscle.
What properties are not of the stretch reflex?
It is a disynaptic reflex
Is the knee-jerk reflex a simple reflex stretch reflex or a spinal reflex?
spinal reflex
A stretch receptor is classified as a?
Mechanoreceptor
What receptor will respond when vessel walls stretch?
A baroreceptor responds to stretch.
What is the receptor in pupillary reflex and the effector do both change simultaneously in pupillary reflex?
The receptor is the retina of the eye; smooth muscle of the iris is the effector. They both change simultaneously because the pupillary light reflex is contralateral.
What reflex is the knee jerk reflex an example of?
knee jerk aka patellar reflex is an example of a stretch reflex
Do you still have a stretch reflex with a cervical nerve injury?
Yes, you may still have a stretch reflex with a cervical nerve injury.
The sensory receptor sensory neuron motor neuron and effector involved in a reflex form a?
A reflex arc.
