The spinal reflex enters via the dorsal horn via the afferent nerves sensing the stimulus, e.g. nociceptors (pain receptors) in the skin. The afferent nerve synapses directly onto the efferent nerve responsible for skeletal muscle movement and leaves via the ventral horn, traveling to the muscle responsible for eliciting the response.

Is the knee-jerk reflex a simple reflex stretch reflex or a spinal reflex?
The knee-jerk reflex is a type of stretch reflex, which is a type of spinal reflex. It involves the stimulation of sensory neurons in the muscle spindles of the quadriceps muscle, leading to a quick contraction of the muscle in response to a sudden stretch.
What is spinal reflex therapy?
Spinal reflex therapy is a neurological soft tissue procedure that gets powerful and reliable results. You can learn more at Spinal Reflex Institute's website.
The knee jerk reflex is an example of a?
A reflex is a rapid, involuntary response to a stimulus. A reflex arc is the pathway traveled by the nerve impulses during a reflex.Most reflexes are spinal reflexes with pathways that traverse only the spinal cord. During a spinal reflex, information may be transmitted to the brain, but it is the spinal cord, and not the brain, that is responsible for the integration of sensory information and a response transmitted to motor neurons.Information is sent to the brain but that takes awhile longer. It is best if you remove your hand from the fire as fast as possible and not wait until the brain yells "hot, hot!".
What control reflex?
spinal cord
What type of reflex does not involve the brain?
A spinal reflex does not involve the brain. This type of reflex is controlled by the spinal cord and does not require the brain to initiate a response. Examples include the knee-jerk reflex and the withdrawal reflex.
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 polysynaptic reflexes have a neuron?
The withdrawal reflex is an example of a polysynaptic reflex involving multiple neurons. This reflex pathway consists of sensory neurons carrying the stimulus information to the spinal cord, interneurons within the spinal cord processing the information, and motor neurons sending signals to muscles to initiate a response, such as withdrawing from a painful stimulus.
What controls a reflex?
spinal cord
Where are the spinal reflex centers located?
In the gray matter of the spinal cord.
Identify the components of the spinal reflex arc?
your spinal reflex is controlled ny the nerve going from the spine to the brain in 1941 Anthony madrado die from slow spinal; reflexes
What is the withdraw reflex?
a spinal reflex intended to protect the body from damaging stimuli.
Where are reflex responses controlled?
Reflex responses are controlled by the spinal cord and brainstem. The spinal cord is responsible for generating motor responses to sensory input without involving the brain in order to produce quick reflex actions.
