What is the difference between cerebral reflex and a spinal reflex?

∙ 6y ago
There are two major differences between the dura of the brain and the dura of the cord. The dura of the brain consists of two layers; the periosteal layer is attached directly to the inner surface of the skull and the meningeal layer is deep to the periosteal layer. In places, the two layers are fused together; in other places, dural sinuses lie between the two layers. There is no epidural space associated with the brain

∙ 12y agoA cranial reflex is one that is controlled by one of the cranial nerves and tend to take place in the facial or head area. These can include reflexes like the constriction of the pupils in response to light, etc. A spinal reflex, on the other hand, is a reflex that involves only the spinal nerves and is not processed by the brain. An example is the patellar reflex, like when the doctor hits your knee and it reflexively moves. Hope this helps! :)

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 respond to a stimulus that does not involve the brain?
It is called a reflex and does not involve the brain, but instead, the spinal cord. So, in effect, the spinal cord can also 'think' and process information, though not quite the level of complexity as the brain, especially the cerebral cortex. But, that is a good thing. If I touch a hot stove, my spinal cord will send out a signal to pull my hand off well before my 'brain' feels the heat. There is a lot of survival value to reflex arcs that are essential to survival that do not include the brain.
What is the difference between spinal vertebrae and spinal column?
vertebre are the little disks in between cartilage, it allows movement, the spinal collumn is what they are attached to
Is a response made automatically called a reflex?
yes and the spinal cord controls the action of that reflex
What cushions and protects the CNS?
Cerebral spinal fluid
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 difference between reflex action and walking?
walking:it is controlled by cerebellum reflex action:it is controlled by spinal cord
The micturition reflex center is located in the?
sacral segments of the spinal cord
Is the knee-jerk reflex a simple reflex stretch reflex or a spinal reflex?
spinal reflex

What is the difference between a simple spinal reflex and a complex reaction?
Simple spinal reflex is when the afferent receptor synapses directly with an efferent neuron and subsequently an effector cell/tissue. This will all take place in the spinal cord. A complex reaction will involve an intermediary interneuron or even the brain for 'processing' before synapsing with an efferent neuron and target tissue.
What is spinal reflex therapy?
Spinal reflex therapy is a neurological soft tissue procedure that gets powerful and reliable results. You can learn more at Spinal Reflex Institute's website.
What control reflex?
spinal cord
What liquid is the spinal cord covered in?
Cerebral spinal fluid
What controls a reflex?
spinal cord
Where are the spinal reflex centers located?
In the gray matter of the spinal cord.
