Explain how visceral reflexes regulate some functions of visceral organs.

Q: List three body functions that reflexes control.

A: Posture reflexes are a group of reflexes which are responsible for the maintenance position and…

Q: Identify characteristics of Golgi tendon reflexes

A: The study of human body can be divided into anatomy and physiology. The anatomy studies about the…

Q: Compare and contrast the neural paths for a somatic reflex versus a visceral reflex.

A: Reflex arc- a neural pathway that controls a reflex. Visceral reflex-Most sensory neurons do not…

Q: Describe how monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflex arcs differ

A: The reflex arc can be defined as the pathway taken by the neuron in the reflex action.…

Q: Define the term stretch reflex and describe how such reflexes are used to anatomically localize SCI

A: Stretch reflex, also known myotatic reflex is defined as the muscle contraction in response to…

Q: Why may it be functional that reflexes are often superior to the local responses?

A: Reflex action is an instantaneous movement, referred to as an involuntary response to stimulus. It…

Q: List the components of the autonomic reflex arc. Compare with somatic reflex arc.

A: The glandular non-skeletal muscular response carried out in the body's internal organs, including…

Q: Explain how a local reflex differs fromother types of reflexes.

A: Reflex action is a type of involuntary response or series of actions in response to a stimulus. In…

Q: We know that a reflex arc is a circuit, but what are the nerve connections arc called?

A: Answer: Introduction: A reflex arc is a neural and sensory pathway that maintains a reflex.  Reflex…

Q: Differentiate between autonomic and somatic reflexes.

A: Our nervous system comprises two main divisions- The central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral…

Q: Explain the general function of a reflex.

A: The involuntary and automatic response to the body against stimuli is called a reflex. In the reflex…

Q: Describe how stimulation of a neuron that has its cell body in thecerebrum can inhibit a reflex that…

A: The brain stem connects the cerebellum and cerebrum to the spinal cord. The brain stem is a bundle…

Q: Describe a converging and a diverging circuit. List the parts of a reflex arc and describe its…

A: Neural circuit is a closed pathway which brings about a particular function involving nerve signals.…

Q: Are reflexes homeostatic? Explain briefly

A: Introduction: The neuronal pathway that regulates a reflex is referred to as a reflex arc. It is the…

Q: Describe how autonomic reflexes help maintain homeostasis

A: The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a part of the peripheral nervous system. It is necessary for…
