What are the components of a reflex arc and what is the difference between a somatic motor reflex and a visceral reflex arc?
What is the physiological function of chemical and electrical synapses between reflexes (eg. a Knee Reflex and jerk reflex).
Distinguish between the following types of reflexes:
A) Somatic vs. Visceral (autonomic) reflex
B) Monosynaptic vs. Polysynaptic reflex
C) Ipsilateral vs. Contralateral vs. Bilateral (consensual) reflex
D) Cranial vs. Spinal reflex

- Which of the following apply to all reflexes. (2)arrow_forwardThe motor neuron involved in reciprocal innervation of the withdrawal reflex inhibits the extensor muscles of the limb. Considering what you learned about stretch reflexes, why does this make sense?arrow_forwardDescartes' version of the reflex arc was important for understanding the brain's role in sensation, perception and reactivity.
