How and why do reflex arcs occur?
A reflex action is an action that happens almost instantly without conscious thought. Grasp a very hot handle of a saucepan on the stove, and you immediately release the handle to avoid further burning by reflex action.
Which of these is not one of the essential compponents of a reflex arc?
The brain is not one of the essential components of a reflex arc. Reflex arcs involve sensory receptors, afferent neurons, interneurons, efferent neurons, and effectors, but they do not involve the brain in the reflex loop.
What is a reflex center and what does it do?
medulla oblongata
Along with sensory receptors transport information to the integrating center?
Sensory receptors detect stimuli and transmit that information to the integrating center in the nervous system, such as the brain or spinal cord. The integrating center processes the incoming signals and coordinates an appropriate response, which is then carried out by the effector organs.
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 kind of reflex has only two neurons?
monsynaptic reflex arcs
Does visceral reflex arcs have two sensory neurons?
No, it has 2 visceral motor neurons. A visceral reflex has a receptor, a sensory neuron, a processing center, and 2 visceral motor neurons.
What is reflex arcs?
Please restate this question for clarification...
Which reflex arcs contain no association neuron?
The patellar reflex is an example of a 2-neuron reflex arc. It has 1 sensory neuron and 1 motor neuron. It does not contain an association neuron and so is considered the most simple reflex in humans.
Why are reflex arcs important?
to protect our body from harmful stuff.
Is reflex action and reflex arcs are same?
Reflexes are uncontrollable movements that happen almost instantly in response to a stimuli. A reflex arc, a neuronal circuit that controls reflexes, is where reflex activities takes place.
Can there be congruent arcs on a circle?
Yes, there can be congruent arcs on a circle. Arcs which subtend the same angle at the center are considered as congruent.
How do autonomic nervous system reflex arcs work?
ANS reflex arcs are stimulated by input from sensory or visceral receptors. The signals are processed in the hypothalamus (or regions of the spinal cord) and target effector control is then regulated via myelinated preganglionic neurons
How many synapses are in a polysynaptic reflex arc containing 2 interneurons in the integrating center?
3 because there are regularly 2 synapses when there is only one interneuron. An extra neuron will add an extra synapse.

How do visceral reflex arcs differ from somatic?
An autonomic reflex arc is similar to the somatic kind, but differs principally in the motor output side. The sensory side is similar in that a transducer sends a signal via a nerve fiber into the CNS. As with the somatic arc, this sensory fiber is associated with a pseudo-unipolar neuron in a craniospinal ganglion, usually one of the dorsal root ganglia. In the autonomic arc, the sensory transducer is often located in or associated with visceral organs.
