Nervous system
No, a reflex is a rapid, involuntary response to a stimulus. The stimulus is what triggers the reflex reaction in the body.
The crossed extensor reflex complements the withdrawal reflex by causing compensatory adjustments on the opposite side of the body receiving the stimulus. For example, if you step on a sharp object and withdraw your foot on one side, the crossed extensor reflex will help to support your body weight and maintain balance on the other side.
The primary sensory center in the brain is the postcentral gyrus, located in the parietal lobe. This area is responsible for processing somatosensory information, including touch, pressure, temperature, and pain sensations from different parts of the body.
No, the micturition reflex center is located in the sacral region of the spinal cord, specifically at the level of the S2 to S4 segments. This center regulates the process of urination, including the contraction of the bladder and relaxation of the internal urethral sphincter.
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.

Reflex action is your body's reflex against injury. It is needed in every part of your body.
medulla oblongata
The control center of a reflex arc, typically located in the central nervous system, processes incoming sensory information and initiates a response to change body condition levels.
Vomiting reflex is mediated by the vomiting center in the brainstem, specifically the area postrema. This area receives input from various parts of the body, including the gastrointestinal tract and higher brain centers, to initiate the coordinated response of vomiting.
The primary purpose of this reflex is to limit the possibility of overinflating the lungs.

The withdrawal reflex is a negative feedback reflex that helps the body protect itself from harm. When the body comes into contact with a harmful stimulus, such as touching something hot, the withdrawal reflex causes muscles to contract and move the body part away from the stimulus, which helps to prevent injury.
