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.

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 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?

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.
