What are the effectors of the salivary reflex?
The effectors of the salivary reflex are the salivary glands, which produce and release saliva in response to stimuli such as the sight, smell, or taste of food. The parasympathetic nervous system is primarily responsible for stimulating the salivary glands during this reflex.
Does A reflex arc begins with a receptor at the end of a sensory nerve?
No, a reflex arc begins with a receptor that detects a stimulus and sends a signal through a sensory nerve to the central nervous system.
What receptor is responsible for the secretion of salivary amylase?
The muscarinic receptors on the salivary gland cells are responsible for the secretion of salivary amylase. Stimulation of these receptors by the neurotransmitter acetylcholine triggers the release of amylase into the saliva.
What occurs during the reflex arc.?
The pathway that an impulse travels from your foot back to your leg is an example of a reflex arc. A reflex arc includes a sensory receptor (in this case, a receptor in your toe), sensory neuron, motor neuron, and effector (leg muscle). Some reflex arcs include interneurons. In other reflex arcs, a sensory neuron communicates directly with a motor neuron.
Is salivation an automatic reflex?
The withdrawal reflex is both a somatic and autonomic reflex (brain). Withdrawal from a painful stimulus is one test used in brain injury. Without the somatic connection to the autonomic brain areas, you'd have no withdrawal reflex at all when something interferes with that connection (such as brain injury or brain death).
What are the effectors of the salivary reflex?
The effectors of the salivary reflex are the salivary glands, which produce and release saliva in response to stimuli such as the sight, smell, or taste of food. The parasympathetic nervous system is primarily responsible for stimulating the salivary glands during this reflex.
Would salivary reflex be a somatic reflex?
In some circumstances I guess so.
What type of reflex leads to secretion of saliva?
Not really reflex but the presence of food stimulates salivary gland. Sometimes even just the smell or sight of certain food do.
The sensory receptor sensory neuron motor neuron and effector involved in a reflex form a?
The sensory receptor, sensory neuron, motor neuron, and effector involved in a reflex form a reflex arc. This is a neural pathway that controls a reflex action in response to a stimulus without conscious thought.
What type of neuron begins a reflex arc?
A sensory receptor is the type of neuron that begins a reflex arc.
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.
Does A reflex arc begins with a receptor at the end of a sensory nerve?
No, a reflex arc begins with a receptor that detects a stimulus and sends a signal through a sensory nerve to the central nervous system.
Which part of a reflex arc monitors body conditions?
Sensory Receptor
What receptor is responsible for the secretion of salivary amylase?
The muscarinic receptors on the salivary gland cells are responsible for the secretion of salivary amylase. Stimulation of these receptors by the neurotransmitter acetylcholine triggers the release of amylase into the saliva.
What is the pathway between the receptor and the control center in the reflex pathway?
Afferent pathway
What is the receptor of a reflex arc?
Sensory receptor located at the distal end of a neuron or an associated sensory structure. When stimulated it creates a receptor potential, when that reaches its threshold, it will trigger 1 or more nerve impulses in the sensory neuron.
What is the correct arrangement of a reflex arc?
Receptor → Sensory Neuron → Associative Neuron→ Motor division →Effectors
