The superficial cord reflex, also known as the cutaneous reflex, is a protective response where a sudden, unexpected touch or pressure on the skin causes a reflexive movement away from the source. This reflex helps to protect the body from potential harm or injury.
Name two somatic reflexes in which the higer brain centers participate?
The Human Reflex Physiology Review Sheet states that "Conversely, other reflexes require the involvement of the brain, since many different inputs must be evaluated before the appropriate reflex is determined. Superficial cord reflexes and pupillary responses to light are in this category" (p. 342).
What cord mediated reflexes?
The knee and elbow reflexes
The brain is deep or superficial to the spine cord?
superficial to the spinal cord.
Do reflexes always involve the spinal cord?
Yes, the spinal cord controls ALL of your reflexes!
What are two somatic reflexes in which the higher brain centers participate?
The Human Reflex Physiology Review Sheet states that "Conversely, other reflexes require the involvement of the brain, since many different inputs must be evaluated before the appropriate reflex is determined. Superficial cord reflexes and pupillary responses to light are in this category" (p. 342).
What responsible for autonomic reflexes?
spinal cord
The simplest reflexes are mediated at the level of the?
spinal cord
Why superficial reflexes are lost in upper motor neuron lesion?
because the superficial reflex fibres also come through the umn fibres along with it
Why reflexes are quickly?
reflexes work very quickly, this is because your brain and spinal cord are processing data and information.
What are the kidneys located superficial to?
The kidneys are superficial to the spinal column. The spine and spinal cord are deep to the kidneys.
If someone has a severed spine reflex still occurs?
Yes. Even though the spinal cord is severed, all the reflexes still work both above and below the severed spinal cord.
