Last step of a reflex arc?
PNS delivers motor response from CNS to effectors...
What type of reflex operates independently of the cns?
The simplest type of reflex that operates independently of the central nervous system is a monosynaptic reflex involving a single synapse between sensory and motor neurons in the spinal cord. This reflex arc allows for a rapid response to a stimulus without requiring input from the brain.
What are reflex arcs and reflex actions?
The reflex arc is the nerve pathway that the signal follows. For example, the knee jerk reflex arc has a stimulus going to an interneuron in the spine and a motor neuron completes the arc by causing the knee to jerk. A reflex is just the action itself.
Which component of a reflex arc is located entirely within the central nervous system?
Many authors refer to the CNS portion of the reflex arc as the integration center.In regards to a monosynaptic reflex arc, the synapse is the only portion of the integration center.Polysynaptic reflex arcs, have multiple synapses and interneuron(s).
What is the receptor of the Achilles reflex?
Hit tendon nociceptors in tendo-achilles. It goes to the CNS by sciatic nerve, then it goes to interneurons in spinal cords S1-S2. Then it goes to Alfa motor n, tibial nerve from sciatic nerve to lead to the gastrocnemius muscle.
A reflex pathway having only one synapse in the CNS?
Reflexes are rapid involuntary responses to a given stimuli. The reflex pathway that only has one synapse in the CNS is called the monosynaptic reflex arc.
What is the only thing complete within the CNS from the reflex arc?
only the Interneuron
Last step of a reflex arc?
PNS delivers motor response from CNS to effectors...
The simplest level of CNS function is the?
The simplest level of CNS function is the reflex arc. It involves a sensory neuron detecting a stimulus and sending a signal to the spinal cord, which then immediately sends a signal back through a motor neuron to produce a response, without involving the brain.
What is a somatic reflex and how does it occur through the CNS?
A somatic reflex is where the body responds to stimulus. The message from the stimulus is sent through the central nervous system via the spine, and from there it travels to the brain.

Define reflex arc and list its elements?
A Reflex Arc is a neural pathway for reflexes that is involved in CNS and PNS. The five elements are: 1. Sensory receptor (Reacts to stimuli) 2. Sensory or Afferent neuron (takes information to the CNS) 3. Integration Center (Spinal Cord or Brain processes information) 4. Motor or Efferent neuron (carries signal away from CNS) 5. Effector organ (muscles or glands)
What is the processing center of a visceral reflex?
The processing center of a visceral reflex is typically located in the central nervous system, such as the brain or spinal cord. This is where the information from sensory receptors is integrated and a response is generated to regulate internal organ function.
What structure detects the stimulus in the reflex action?
The stimulus is detected by temperature or pain receptors in the skin. These generate impulses in sensory neurons. The impulses enter the CNS ( Central nervous system ) through a part of the spinal nerve called the Dorsal root.
What is the peripheral nevorus system?
It is located outside of the central nervous system and consists of nerves and sensory receptors, it carries impulses formed by receptors, such as pain and sound receptors, to the CNS and it carries impulses from the CNS to effectors, glands and muscles that carry out actions directed by the CNS
What is the jump reflex?
Jump reflection is a a reflex action that takes place under the control of spinal cordand not the involvement of CNS. Eg. When we stamp on a nail or on an hot plate we immediately move the leg because of reflex action.
