The three nerves involved in a reflex are the sensory (afferent) nerve, the motor (efferent) nerve, and the interneuron. The sensory nerve transmits the signal from the sensory receptor to the spinal cord, where the interneuron processes the information and relays it to the motor nerve. The motor nerve then sends a signal from the spinal cord to the muscle, causing a response. This pathway allows for a quick, involuntary reaction to stimuli.

Is an ankle jerk reflex somatic or autonomic?

Ankle jerk is somatic. It is the reflex action, in which the afferent. connecting and the efferent neurons are involved. Autonomic nerves do not supply the striated muscles.


What happens after the spinal cord makes a decision in a reflex?

There are no "decisions" involved in a reflex. Generally the response is to trigger whatever motor nerves move the affected area away from the stimulus.

Light shown into the eye will result in a decrease of the papillary diameter which nerves are involved in this reflex?

The autonomic nervous system is responsible for controlling the pupillary reflex. The parasympathetic nerves, specifically the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III), cause constriction of the pupils in response to light.


What is the muscle involved in ankle jerk flex?

The muscle involved in the ankle jerk reflex, also known as the Achilles reflex, is the gastrocnemius muscle, along with the soleus muscle, which collectively make up the calf muscles. When the Achilles tendon is tapped, these muscles contract, causing the foot to point downward. This reflex is mediated by the S1 and S2 spinal nerves.


What are three kinds of neutrons that would be involved in a reflex impulse?
