What is responsible for the integration of simple responses to certain stimuli such as the patellar reflex?

The spinal cord is responsible for integrating simple responses to stimuli, such as the patellar reflex. In the case of the patellar reflex, the sensory neurons in the knee send signals to the spinal cord, where motor neurons are activated to produce the reflexive response of leg extension. This integration occurs without involving the brain, allowing for a quick and automatic response.


Where are reflex responses controlled?

Reflex responses are controlled by the spinal cord and brainstem. The spinal cord is responsible for generating motor responses to sensory input without involving the brain in order to produce quick reflex actions.


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.


Which of the following is not correct regarding the patellar knee jerk reflex?

The statement "The patellar knee jerk reflex is controlled by the brain" is not correct. The patellar knee jerk reflex is actually a spinal reflex, meaning it does not involve the brain in its initial response.


List the Basic steps of simple reflex arc like the stretch reflex?

receptor: initiate impulse: receive something sensory neuron: will carry impulse from receptors to the central nervous system motor neuron: tranmits impulse away from central nervous system into effector internuncial neuron: carry impulse from pre- synaptic to post synaptic effector: muscles or glands

Do stretch reflex have interneuron?

Yes, the stretch reflex involves a simple monosynaptic pathway between sensory neurons and motor neurons without the involvement of interneurons in the spinal cord.


What monitors muscle length and sends an impulse to the spinal cord to initiate the stretch reflex?

What monitors muscle length and sends an impulse to the spinal cord to indicate the stretch reflex


Can you willfully inhibit a stretch reflex?

The stretch reflex is a normal, automatic response of the body to a sudden stretch of a muscle, controlled by the spinal cord. While it can be modulated, inhibiting it will require overriding the spinal reflex arc, which can be challenging to do willfully without external intervention. Techniques such as relaxation exercises or gradual stretching may help reduce the intensity of the stretch reflex.


Can the first element of a simple spinal reflex be motor neuron?

Why not? Who are you to judge? Hater!


Can stretch reflex be referred to as mono synaptic?

Yes, the stretch reflex can be referred to as monosynaptic because it involves a single synapse between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron in the spinal cord. This direct connection allows for a rapid response to a sudden stretch in a muscle.


What structure controls simple reflexes?

Reflex responses are controlled in your spinal chord, not in your brain (;- your welcome


Is a patellar reflex autonomic?

no


How many synapses are crossed in a single reflex arc during a muscle stretch reflex?

A single reflex arc during a muscle stretch reflex involves two synapses: one at the sensory neuron in the spinal cord where the signal is transmitted to the motor neuron, and another at the neuromuscular junction where the motor neuron stimulates the muscle to contract.


The knee jerk reflex is an example of a?

A reflex is a rapid, involuntary response to a stimulus. A reflex arc is the pathway traveled by the nerve impulses during a reflex.Most reflexes are spinal reflexes with pathways that traverse only the spinal cord. During a spinal reflex, information may be transmitted to the brain, but it is the spinal cord, and not the brain, that is responsible for the integration of sensory information and a response transmitted to motor neurons.Information is sent to the brain but that takes awhile longer. It is best if you remove your hand from the fire as fast as possible and not wait until the brain yells "hot, hot!".
