Summary Introduction

To enlist:

The five steps involved in a neural reflex.

Introduction:

The instantaneous and involuntary movement is known as reflex action or reflex. The responses of the actions taken to a sensory stimulus. The motor responses take place through the receptors present in reflex arc. Reflex action is the action involved in response to the sensation and stimuli and it is a type of instant and involuntary responses.

Name the following parts of the neuron as indicated. Specify the functions of each part. 1 7 2 5 4 3 Illustrate and explain the reflex arc. Illustrate and explain transmission of neuronal impulses across synapse.
Use logic to determine whether each of the following reflexes is a somatic reflex or an autonomic (visceral) reflex. Hint: think about what the effector is — is it a skeletal muscle, or is it a smooth / cardiac muscle or gland? -Patellar (knee-jerk) reflex                                                    -Pupillary light reflex                            (autonomic/somatic)                                                    -Effectors are skeletal muscles               (autonomic/somatic)                                                    -Effectors are smooth muscles or glands   (autonomic/somatic)                                                    -Regulation of blood pressure        (autonomic/somatic)                                                    -Salivary reflex             (autonomic/somatic)
What is the physiological function of chemical and electrical synapses between reflexes (eg. a Knee Reflex and jerk reflex).
