Which part of the nervous system is used to coordinate a reflex response?
A spinal reflex is a reflex that is centered in the spinal cord. The parts of the nervous system in one of these include the spinal cord as well as deep tendon nerves and sensory nerves.
How do visceral reflex arcs differ from somatic?
An autonomic reflex arc is similar to the somatic kind, but differs principally in the motor output side. The sensory side is similar in that a transducer sends a signal via a nerve fiber into the CNS. As with the somatic arc, this sensory fiber is associated with a pseudo-unipolar neuron in a craniospinal ganglion, usually one of the dorsal root ganglia. In the autonomic arc, the sensory transducer is often located in or associated with visceral organs.
Does the nervous system control your blinking and sneezing?
The medulla oblongata is responsible for regulating several basic functions of the autonomic nervous system, including respiration, cardiac function, vasodilation, and reflexes like vomiting, coughing, sneezing, and swallowing.
How is it possible for the GI tract to have complete reflex arcs without having to pass impulses through the central nervous system?
Ganglion
Is salivation an automatic reflex?
The withdrawal reflex is both a somatic and autonomic reflex (brain). Withdrawal from a painful stimulus is one test used in brain injury. Without the somatic connection to the autonomic brain areas, you'd have no withdrawal reflex at all when something interferes with that connection (such as brain injury or brain death).
How is reflex handled in the nervous system?
I'm not positive, but I think that reflexes are controlled by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The SNS is responsible for fight-or-flight responses. For example, if you see a shark coming directly at you, you decide to try to either get away from it (flight) or fight it off (fight). Reflexes are mediated by reflex arcs, which are neural pathways. Some sensory neurons pass directly to the synapse of the spinal cord, rather than the brain. This allows reflexes to occur relatively quickly.
Where does occur the the autonomic reflex centers?
The autonomic reflex centers are located in the brainstem and spinal cord. The brainstem houses important autonomic centers such as the medulla oblongata and pons, which regulate functions like heart rate and respiration. The spinal cord contains reflex arcs that control activities like urination and defecation.
Which component of a reflex arc is located entirely within the central nervous system?
Many authors refer to the CNS portion of the reflex arc as the integration center.In regards to a monosynaptic reflex arc, the synapse is the only portion of the integration center.Polysynaptic reflex arcs, have multiple synapses and interneuron(s).
What kind of reflex has only two neurons?
monsynaptic reflex arcs
Is PNS involved in reflex actions?
Yes, the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is involved in reflex actions. Reflex arcs allow sensory information to be processed in the spinal cord and produce motor responses without involving the brain. The PNS carries the sensory information to the spinal cord and the motor responses back to the muscles or glands.
What is reflex arcs?
Please restate this question for clarification...
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.
