How does effector relate to reflex arc?
An effector is a part of the body (such as a muscle or gland) that carries out the response in a reflex arc. In a reflex arc, when a stimulus is detected by a sensory receptor, a message is sent via a sensory neuron to the spinal cord, where it is processed, and then a message is sent via a motor neuron to the effector causing a response.
What is the receptor in pupillary reflex and the effector do both change simultaneously in pupillary reflex?
The receptor in the pupillary reflex is the optic nerve, which senses changes in light intensity. The effector is the circular and radial muscles of the iris, which control the size of the pupil. In the pupillary reflex, both the receptor and the effector work together to adjust the size of the pupil to regulate the amount of light entering the eye.
The sensory receptor sensory neuron motor neuron and effector involved in a reflex form a?
The sensory receptor, sensory neuron, motor neuron, and effector involved in a reflex form a reflex arc. This is a neural pathway that controls a reflex action in response to a stimulus without conscious thought.
A reflex that does not pass through the brain is termed as?
Simple, unconditioned or natural reflexes do not involve the brain. These reflexes occur when a receptor that goes to the spinal cord is stimulated by an impulse or effector. The effector neuron sends a response to the muscle or the gland thus causing an instant action. An example of this type of action would be when you blink your eye due to strong light.
Muscle action that is not under your control is?
Involuntary muscle action. Examples include the beating of the heart, digestion in the stomach, and reflex actions like blinking or sneezing.
In this reflex action the muscle acts as the ....?
Effector
What is the effector muscle of a biceps reflex?
The effector muscle is the biceps brachii.
In the reflex arc a muscle or gland is considered to be the?
In the reflex arc, a muscle or gland is considered to be the effector. Its role is to respond to the stimulus provided by the sensory neuron and produce the appropriate action, such as muscle contraction or gland secretion.
How does effector relate to reflex arc?
An effector is a part of the body (such as a muscle or gland) that carries out the response in a reflex arc. In a reflex arc, when a stimulus is detected by a sensory receptor, a message is sent via a sensory neuron to the spinal cord, where it is processed, and then a message is sent via a motor neuron to the effector causing a response.
A rapid simple automatic response that involves few neurons is?
A reflex action is a fast, automatic response to a stimulus by an effector organ i.e. a muscle.
Is an effector of a skeletal muscle a somatic reflex?
Yes, the effector of a skeletal muscle is part of a somatic reflex. Somatic reflexes involve the contraction of skeletal muscles in response to a stimulus, and the effector in this case is the skeletal muscle itself that carries out the response.
What is a similarity between a reflex action and a voluntary action?
Both require motor neurones to carry the nerve impulse to the effector in order for the muscle to contract carry out an action.
What is the effector of the Achilles reflex?
gastrocnemius muscle
What is the receptor in pupillary reflex and the effector do both change simultaneously in pupillary reflex?

In the pupillary reflex, both the receptor and the effector work together to adjust the size of the pupil to regulate the amount of light entering the eye.
What is the effector in a gag reflex?
The effector in a gag reflex is the contraction of muscles involved in swallowing, including the pharyngeal muscles in the throat. These muscle contractions help to expel any foreign objects that stimulate the back of the throat, triggering the gag reflex.
What muscle is involved with the patellar reflex?
The quadriceps group of muscles. Rectus Femoris more specifically.
How would you assess the calcaneal reflex?
you can observe a calcaneal reflex by striking the calcaneal tendon with the blunt side of a rubber hammer the calcaneal tendon is right above the heal on the backside of the foot, you can feel it easily
