The gray matter is the center for simple reflex activity.
- Reflexes are rapid, automatic responses to stimuli that "buy time" for the planning and execution of more complex responses that are often consciously directed.
- The fastest reflexes are somatic motor reflexes that (1) involve myelinated axons, (2) involve only one segment of the spinal cord or one nucleus of the brain, and (3) are monosynaptic.

What Acts as a reflex center of the body?
the spinal cord
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 the main reflex center of the central nervous system?
spinal cord
Can the first element of a simple spinal reflex be motor neuron?
Why not? Who are you to judge? Hater!
What structure controls simple reflexes?
Reflex responses are controlled in your spinal chord, not in your brain (;- your welcome
Is a patellar reflex autonomic?
no
What is the primary reflex center for the body?
The primary reflex center for the body is the spinal cord. It coordinates reflex actions in response to stimuli without involving the brain, allowing for quick and automatic responses to potential threats or dangers.
The micturition reflex center is located in the?
sacral segments of the spinal cord
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.
What is responsible for the integration of simple responses to certain stimuli such as the patellar reflex?
The spinal cord is responsible for integrating simple responses to stimuli, such as the patellar reflex. In the case of the patellar reflex, the sensory neurons in the knee send signals to the spinal cord, where motor neurons are activated to produce the reflexive response of leg extension. This integration occurs without involving the brain, allowing for a quick and automatic response.
What control reflex?
spinal cord
What is the difference between a simple spinal reflex and a complex reaction?
Simple spinal reflex is when the afferent receptor synapses directly with an efferent neuron and subsequently an effector cell/tissue. This will all take place in the spinal cord. A complex reaction will involve an intermediary interneuron or even the brain for 'processing' before synapsing with an efferent neuron and target tissue.
