What the difference between superficial and deep reflexe?

Superficial reflexes are responses elicited by stimulation of the skin or mucous membranes, such as the withdrawal reflex or the abdominal reflex, and are typically mediated by the spinal cord and the brainstem. In contrast, deep reflexes, also known as deep tendon reflexes, involve muscle stretch and are usually assessed through tendon taps, like the knee-jerk reflex, and are primarily mediated at the spinal cord level. Superficial reflexes often involve more complex neural pathways and higher brain functions, whereas deep reflexes are more direct and can occur without brain involvement.


Do reflexes always involve the spinal cord?

Yes, the spinal cord controls ALL of your reflexes!


What responsible for autonomic reflexes?

What is the superficial cord reflex?

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.

Spinal reflexes are produced in what?

Introduction. Spinal cord reflexes are simple behaviors produced by central nervous system (CNS) pathways that lie entirely within the spinal cord. The sensory afferent fibers that evoke these reflexes enter the spinal cord and activate spinal motor neurons directly or through a chain of one or more spinal interneurons


What are the three major functions of the spinal cord?

conduction,locomotion,reflexes


What is the area of the nervous system that is responsible for mediating reflexes?
