An example of a visceral reflex would be the things your stomach has to do to digest food. There are sensory receptors that get stimulated when food is present and they tell other cells to get on with the work of digestion by a visceral (internal organ) reflex. Your digestive system has so many of these that the network involved with this is sometimes called the second brain.

Innermost layer of the pleura is known as?
The innermost layer of the pleura is known as the visceral pleura. This thin membrane covers the surface of the lungs and is in close contact with the lung tissue.
What are some common reflexes?
Their are 4 types of reflexes:spinal reflex (knee jerk);cranial reflex (reading);somatic reflexes (involve contraction of skeletal muscles);autonomic (visceral) reflexes (involve responses of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands)
What is the processing center of a visceral reflex?
The processing center of a visceral reflex is typically located in the central nervous system, such as the brain or spinal cord. This is where the information from sensory receptors is integrated and a response is generated to regulate internal organ function.
Pleura are examples of which type of membrane?
Pleura are examples of serous membranes, which are thin membranes that line body cavities not directly open to the outside of the body. They consist of two layers - parietal (lining the cavity walls) and visceral (covering the organs).
What reflexes classified as somatic reflexes?
Somatic reflexes involve the contraction of skeletal muscles in response to stimuli. Examples include the stretch reflex, withdrawal reflex, and crossed extensor reflex. These reflexes are typically controlled by the central nervous system and help protect the body from harm or maintain posture and balance.
Are smooth muscle reflexes somatic?
No, they are visceral and from the efferent or motor neurons.
Do visceral reflexes include the reflexes that empty the rectum?
Yes, visceral reflexes do include the reflexes that facilitate the emptying of the rectum. These reflexes are part of the autonomic nervous system and involve both sensory and motor pathways. When the rectum is distended, stretch receptors send signals to the spinal cord, which then triggers reflexive contractions of the rectal muscles and relaxation of the anal sphincter to allow for defecation.
What are some examples of stretch reflexes during hypoactive?
Coma, neurosyphilis, chronic diabetes mellitus
What are the examples of elicited acts?
4 examples of dlicited acts
Does a snail have a visceral mass?

What does Reflexes 2 in medical terms mean?
"Reflexes 2" or "reflexes +2" indicates normal reflexes.
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.
Define visceral as used in the sentence We don't connect on a visceral level?
