How does effector relate to reflex arc?

An effector is a part of the body (such as a muscle or gland) that carries out the response in a reflex arc. In a reflex arc, when a stimulus is detected by a sensory receptor, a message is sent via a sensory neuron to the spinal cord, where it is processed, and then a message is sent via a motor neuron to the effector causing a response.


What is effector muscle for calcaneal reflex action?

The effector muscle for the calcaneal reflex (also known as the Achilles reflex) is the gastrocnemius muscle in the calf. When the Achilles tendon is tapped, it causes a contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle, resulting in plantar flexion of the foot.


Is an effector of a skeletal muscle a somatic reflex?

Yes, the effector of a skeletal muscle is part of a somatic reflex. Somatic reflexes involve the contraction of skeletal muscles in response to a stimulus, and the effector in this case is the skeletal muscle itself that carries out the response.


What is the effector of the Achilles reflex?

gastrocnemius muscle


In the reflex arc a muscle or gland is considered to be the?

In the reflex arc, a muscle or gland is considered to be the effector. Its role is to respond to the stimulus provided by the sensory neuron and produce the appropriate action, such as muscle contraction or gland secretion.


What is the receptor in pupillary reflex and the effector do both change simultaneously in pupillary reflex?

The receptor in the pupillary reflex is the optic nerve, which senses changes in light intensity. The effector is the circular and radial muscles of the iris, which control the size of the pupil. In the pupillary reflex, both the receptor and the effector work together to adjust the size of the pupil to regulate the amount of light entering the eye.


What is the effector in a gag reflex?

The effector in a gag reflex is the contraction of muscles involved in swallowing, including the pharyngeal muscles in the throat. These muscle contractions help to expel any foreign objects that stimulate the back of the throat, triggering the gag reflex.


What muscle is involved with the patellar reflex?

The quadriceps group of muscles. Rectus Femoris more specifically.


A rapid simple automatic response that involves few neurons is?

First step in a reflex arc?

A reflex arc involves the following components:The receptor is the part of the neuron (usually a dendrite) that detects a stimulus.The sensory neuron transmits the impulse to the spinal cord.The integration center involves one synapse (monosynaptic reflex arc) or two or more synapses (polysynaptic reflex arc) in the gray matter of the spinal cord.A motor neuron transmits a nerve impulse from the spinal cord to a peripheral region.An effector is a muscle or gland that receives the impulse from the motor neuron. In somatic reflexes, the effector is skeletal muscle. In autonomic (visceral) reflexes, the effector is smooth or cardiac muscle, or a gland.
