lumbar plex
-FEMORAL NERVE (on test)
-genitofemoral nerve
-lateral femoral cutaneous nerve
sacral plex
-SCIATIC NERVE (on test) forms the common fibular nerve and tibial nerve
-is the longest and thickets nerve
-from s1 to 3
-pudendal nerve
reflex
immediate involuntary response
reflex arc
neural wiring of a single reflex
-begins at sensory receptor and ends at motor effector
innate
born with reflex
Where is information processed?
-spinal or cerebral
motor response
-somatic, visceral or autonomic
neural circuit
monosynaptic or polysynaptic
reflex arc step by step
- activated sensory receptor
- information to the cns
- information processing
- activation of motor neuron
- response by the effector
monosynaptic
involves sensory neuron to motor neuron with only one synapse
polysnaptic
involves interneurons btwn the sensory and motor neuron with more than one synapse
stroke
can happen in the subarachnoid space
