The Patellar reflex is an example of a somatic reflex. This refers to the branch of the nervous system that the reflex pertains to. The somatic branch is part of the Peripheral Nervous system, meaning that it's reflex arc does not pass through the central nervous system (the spinal cord and the brain)
A reflex arc includes components of both the central and peripheral nervous systems.
It is a tool used to assess part of the nervous system.
A spinal reflex is a reflex that is centered in the spinal cord. The parts of the nervous system in one of these include the spinal cord as well as deep tendon nerves and sensory nerves.
The gag reflex is an involuntary reflex, therefore it is an autonomic reflex. The peripheral nervous system is the part of the nervous system outside the central nervous system (which consists of the brain and spinal cord). The peripheral nervous system is split into two parts - the somatic nervous system and the autonomic system. The somatic system controls voluntary skeletal muscle movements and the autonomic system controls involuntary or automatic actions.
Nervous system and Muscular system usually. For some, the Sensory system, a part of the Nervous system, also has to do with reflexes.
Nervous system consist of two parts,central nervous system and autonomous nervous system.Cerebral cortex,hypothalamus,thalamus,medulla oblongata,cerebellum are part of brain ,it is central nervous system with spinal cord.Autonomic nervous system consist of sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglion s which is responsible for fight or flight reflex to survive in danger.
A reflex arc is a neutral pathway in the central nervous system. It controls reflex action. The sensory neurons do not directly pass into brain but go through spinal chord. Spinal chord can independently control many reflexes.
The nervous system's main function is to communicate with and control every part of the body, whether it be voluntary or involuntary. It controls every reflex, action, emotion, and thought.
I'm not positive, but I think that reflexes are controlled by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The SNS is responsible for fight-or-flight responses. For example, if you see a shark coming directly at you, you decide to try to either get away from it (flight) or fight it off (fight). Reflexes are mediated by reflex arcs, which are neural pathways. Some sensory neurons pass directly to the synapse of the spinal cord, rather than the brain. This allows reflexes to occur relatively quickly.
The medulla oblongata is responsible for regulating several basic functions of the autonomic nervous system, including respiration, cardiac function, vasodilation, and reflexes like vomiting, coughing, sneezing, and swallowing.
