Is the pupillary light reflex contralateral or ipsilateral?
The patellar reflex is ipsilateral. If the stimulus is applied to left knee cap, the left knee responds. On the other hand, if the right knee were to respond to a left knee stimulus, the response would be considered contralateral.
Light shown into the eye will result in a decrease of the papillary diameter which nerves are involved in this reflex?
oculomotor
What role does the brain play in a reflex response?
withdrawal reflex involves the processing of brain. it integrates with cerebellar activity
Automatic response to an event is known as?
Reflex
Is a response made automatically called a reflex?
yes and the spinal cord controls the action of that reflex
Is the pupillary light reflex contralateral or ipsilateral?
The patellar reflex is ipsilateral. If the stimulus is applied to left knee cap, the left knee responds. On the other hand, if the right knee were to respond to a left knee stimulus, the response would be considered contralateral.
What is the difference between a contralateral reflex arc and an ipsilateral reflex arc?
Monosynaptic meaning there is one synapse. Polysynaptic means there are more than one synapse. If a interneuron is present it is polysynaptic, if no interneuron is present then it is monosynaptic. Ipsilateral meaning the same side and contralateral meaning opposite sides.
How is the reflex response different from the sensory response?
The stimulus is what triggers the reflex response.
What is the human body's automatic response to the environment?
An automatic response to the environment is a reflex
What is papillary reflex?
You probably mean the pupillary reflex. It is the reflex responsible for your pupils constricting (becoming smaller) when exposed to light and dilating (becoming bigger) when you walk into a dark room.
A reflex is an example of what type of response?
a reflex ia an example of an instinctive response
Light shown into the eye will result in a decrease of the papillary diameter which nerves are involved in this reflex?
oculomotor
What is a pathological response?
A pathological reflex is an unexpected/abnormal response to stimulus. For instance, a positive babinski reflex is a pathological reflex.
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 is photopupillary reflex?
Photopupillary reflex is pupillary constriction in response to light.
What is called the red light reflex?
The red light reflex (startle response) is a withdrawal response in the abdominal muscles in which the body curves in on itself in response to distress.
What is an automatic response that involves only part of an organism?
A reflex is an automatic response that only involves one part of an organism's body. Examples include the pupillary light reflex, patellar reflex and corneal reflex.
