Chapter 13, Problem 6RQ
Summary Introduction
To list: Some examples of the autonomic reflexes that are spinal reflexes and the ones that are integrated in the brain.
Introduction: Humans have the nervous system to recognize environmental changes. The environmental changes are called stimulus. The nervous system generates responses against the stimulus. The involuntary response produced by the body is known as a reflex.

Illustrate and explain the reflex arc.
Illustrate and explain transmission of neuronal impulses
across synapse.
Reflexes can be somatic (as in the knee jerk response) or visceral (as in vomiting). Given that both result in an involuntary motor response, why aren’t they both considered visceral motor?
