What are the effectors of the salivary reflex?
The effectors of the salivary reflex are glands
What receptor is responsible for the secretion of salivary amylase?
muscarinic receptors
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.
Is salivation an automatic reflex?
The withdrawal reflex is both a somatic and autonomic reflex (brain). Withdrawal from a painful stimulus is one test used in brain injury. Without the somatic connection to the autonomic brain areas, you'd have no withdrawal reflex at all when something interferes with that connection (such as brain injury or brain death).
How does a reflex arc help maintain homeostasis?
Homeostasis works as a negative feedback mechanism, which is a kind of reflex action. When the body detects changes in external/internal environment, the receptor will generate a nerve impulse to the coordination centre and then make a response through effector. This is a reflex arc.
What are the effectors of the salivary reflex?
The effectors of the salivary reflex are glands
Would salivary reflex be a somatic reflex?
In some circumstances I guess so.
What receptor is responsible for the secretion of salivary amylase?
muscarinic receptors
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.
The sensory receptor sensory neuron motor neuron and effector involved in a reflex form a?
A reflex arc.
What type of neuron begins a reflex arc?
A sensory receptor is the type of neuron that begins a reflex arc.
What is the first event associated with a reflex?
The receptor detects a stimulus.
Which part of a reflex arc monitors body conditions?
Sensory Receptor
What is the pathway between the receptor and the control center in the reflex pathway?
Afferent pathway
What type of reflex leads to secretion of saliva?
Not really reflex but the presence of food stimulates salivary gland. Sometimes even just the smell or sight of certain food do.

Mechanism of reflex arch?
A reflex arch includes a receptor, senory neuron, a ref;ex center composed of interneurons, motor neuron, and effector.
