Reflexes involve a sensory neuron that detects a stimulus, an interneuron in the spinal cord that processes the information, and a motor neuron that sends the response signal to the muscle or gland. These three neurons work together in a reflex arc to produce a rapid and involuntary response to a stimulus.
Yes, reflexes involve interneurons, which are nerve cells that transmit signals between sensory and motor neurons. In the case of reflexes, interneurons help facilitate the rapid response by relaying signals from sensory neurons to motor neurons in the spinal cord without having to involve the brain.
Spinal Cord
The long bundle of neurons that carries messages to and from the body to the brain and is responsible for very fast, lifesaving reflexes is called the? Spinal cord.
Yes, spinal reflexes are an example of serial processing. This is because they involve a predictable sequence of events where sensory input triggers a specific motor response without the need for conscious awareness or higher-order processing.
The withdrawal reflex is an example of a polysynaptic reflex involving multiple neurons. This reflex pathway consists of sensory neurons carrying the stimulus information to the spinal cord, interneurons within the spinal cord processing the information, and motor neurons sending signals to muscles to initiate a response, such as withdrawing from a painful stimulus.
Yes, the spinal cord controls ALL of your reflexes!

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
spinal cord
These are called efferent neurons. The one that carry impulses away are afferent. Afferent (A) are away (A).
Simple reflexes are controlled by the spinal cord. The message travels from the sense receptors near the skin through the afferent nerve fibers to the spinal cord. In the spinal cord, the messages are relayed through association neurons to the efferent nerve fibers, which carry them to the muscle cells that cause the reflex movement.
Spinal Cord
A reflex arc is a neutral pathway in the central nervous system. It controls reflex action. The sensory neurons do not directly pass into brain but go through spinal chord. Spinal chord can independently control many reflexes.

I'm not positive, but I think that reflexes are controlled by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The SNS is responsible for fight-or-flight responses. For example, if you see a shark coming directly at you, you decide to try to either get away from it (flight) or fight it off (fight). Reflexes are mediated by reflex arcs, which are neural pathways. Some sensory neurons pass directly to the synapse of the spinal cord, rather than the brain. This allows reflexes to occur relatively quickly.
