Which of these is a reflex?
The knee-jerk reflex is a common example of a reflex. It occurs when the knee is tapped and the leg kicks out involuntarily in response.
What reflex does a a sensory neuron synapses directly on a motor neuron?
This type of reflex is known as a monosynaptic reflex. It involves a single synapse between the sensory neuron and the motor neuron in the spinal cord, leading to a rapid response to a stimulus without involvement of higher brain centers. An example of a monosynaptic reflex is the knee-jerk reflex.
Is the knee-jerk reflex a simple reflex stretch reflex or a spinal reflex?
The knee-jerk reflex is a type of stretch reflex, which is a type of spinal reflex. It involves the stimulation of sensory neurons in the muscle spindles of the quadriceps muscle, leading to a quick contraction of the muscle in response to a sudden stretch.
What is cranial reflex?
A cranial reflex is a fast, involuntary response to a stimulus. It uses the brain stem as an integrating center (the brain receives sensory information and generates a response). This is contrasted to a spinal reflex, when the response is generated in the spinal cord itself, and the brain only finds out a reflex has occurred after the fact.An example of a cranial reflex would be the tracking movements of your eyes as you are reading this sentence. The dilation and contraction of your pupils in response to different levels of light is another cranial reflex.--------------An example of a spinal reflex would be standing on a pin or touching a hot object.
What is an example of a intrinsic reflex?
An example of an intrinsic reflex is the pupillary reflex, in which the pupils of the eye constrict when exposed to bright light and dilate in response to darkness. This reflex helps regulate the amount of light entering the eye to optimize vision.
Which of these is a reflex?
The knee-jerk reflex is a common example of a reflex. It occurs when the knee is tapped and the leg kicks out involuntarily in response.
What type of reflex does not involve the brain?
A spinal reflex does not involve the brain. This type of reflex is controlled by the spinal cord and does not require the brain to initiate a response. Examples include the knee-jerk reflex and the withdrawal reflex.
What type of reflex does the secretion of the hormone insulin in response to changes in blood glucose levels?
Endocrine reflex
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 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 a difference between reflex and voluntary action?
The difference between reflex and voluntary action is that a reflex occurs naturally in response to some sort of stimulus and voluntary action is something that is consciously carried out. An example of a reflex action is gagging and an example of voluntary action is flinching when someone is going to hit you.
What kind of reflex arc does not require an inter neuron?
A monosynaptic reflex arc does not require an interneuron. In this type of reflex arc, the sensory neuron communicates directly with the motor neuron in the spinal cord or brainstem, resulting in a quick and simple reflex response.
