What is the receptor for salivary reflex?
The receptor for the salivary reflex is primarily taste receptors located in the taste buds on the tongue. These receptors detect the presence of food in the mouth, which triggers the salivary reflex and leads to the production of saliva.
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 is a protective reflex that also overrides the spinal pathways and prevents any other reflexes from using them at the same time?
The crossed extensor reflex is a protective reflex that occurs when a limb is withdrawn from a painful stimulus. It overrides spinal pathways to prevent other reflexes from using them simultaneously. This reflex helps to maintain balance and support the body during the withdrawal response.
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.
What is the neural pathway of a single reflex called?
The neural pathway of a single reflex is called a reflex arc. It involves the sensory neuron carrying information from the receptor to the spinal cord, where it synapses with a motor neuron that carries the response signal to the effector muscle or organ. This simple pathway allows for rapid, involuntary responses to stimuli.
What muscles in the limbs are the effectors of a withdrawal reflex?
Flexor Muscles
Flexor reflex somatic or autonomic?
it is a somatic reflex
What are the effector muscles of the withdrawal reflex?
Flexor Muscles
A withdrawal reflex employs what neurons?
Withdrawal reflex or flexor reflex employs sensory neuron, interneuron and motor neuron.
What muscles of the limbs are effectors of withdrawal reflex?
flexor muscle
What is the receptor for salivary reflex?
The receptor for the salivary reflex is primarily taste receptors located in the taste buds on the tongue. These receptors detect the presence of food in the mouth, which triggers the salivary reflex and leads to the production of saliva.
What maintains a sustained contraction when the flexor withdrawal reflex is employed?
a parallel after-discharge circuit
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.
What is flexor reflex?
Flexor reflex occurs when powerful stimuli (most often pain) causes the whole limb to be withdrawn from the site of stimuli. Reciprocal inhibition is vital (this relaxes the antagonist muscles) allowing the joint to be flexed and hence remove itself from the painful stimulus.
