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 cells in your body send and receive messages?

The basic cells that the body uses for rapid communication and control are neurons. The cells that carry signals to muscles and glands are the motor neurons.


What is reflex listening?

Reflex listening uses the same principles of active listening. To use reflex listening, you must restate the content of what is told to you in order for both parties to agree on what is being conveyed.


What does the body use to send signals through out itself?

The body uses a complex network of nerve cells called neurons to send electrical signals. These signals travel along the neurons and across the synapses to communicate with other cells in the body, allowing for coordination and control of different functions.


What source of signals does the brain use to communicate sensation thoughts and actions?

The brain uses electrical and chemical signals to communicate sensations, thoughts, and actions. Neurons transmit electrical signals called action potentials, while chemical signals called neurotransmitters regulate communication between neurons at the synapses. These signals play a key role in processing information and coordinating various functions within the brain and the rest of the body.

How are reflex tests performed?

Reflex tests are performed by a healthcare provider using a reflex hammer to strike a specific tendon, such as the knee tendon, which causes a muscle to contract involuntarily. The resulting reflex response is then observed and assessed for any abnormalities.


How do you assess for reflex?

To assess reflexes, a healthcare provider typically uses a reflex hammer to tap specific tendons and observe the resulting muscle response. Common reflexes assessed include the patellar (knee-jerk) reflex, Achilles reflex, and biceps reflex. The strength and speed of the response are noted, as well as any asymmetry between sides. Additionally, the provider may evaluate reflexes in relation to neurological function to identify potential issues.
