Lab 2 - Reflexes and Reactions Flashcards
automatic, involuntary response to a stimulus
reflex
component parts of a reflex arc
stimulus, sensory receptor, afferent pathway, integrating center, efferent pathway, effector
localized effect in reaction to a stimulus
paracrine effect
three functions of reflexes
protective, homeostasis, clinical
conscious response to a stimulus
reaction
example of paracrine response
inflammation
stretch reflex of patellar tendon
tendon jerk
plantar reflex also used in babies and is called blank
Babinski
pupillary light reflex is also called
accomodation
balance test that tests several equilibrium reflexes
Romberg test
spinning reflex
nystagmus
when the other eye responds like the other eye even though it isn’t exposed to stimulus
consensual reflex
reflex when the back of the neck is pinched
ciliospinal
golgi tendon organ function
sense muscle tension
muscle spindle receptors function
sense muscle length
if a reflex is above the neck then the integrating center is the blank
brain
three efferent pathways
general somatic, general visceral, special visceral
four afferent pathways
general somatic, general visceral, special visceral, special somatic
efferent pathway that carry motor impulses out of brain or spinal cord to skeletal muscles and cause them to contract
general somatic
efferent pathway that carry motor impulses out of brain or spinal cord to smooth muscles and glands associated with internal organs
general visceral
efferent pathway that carry motor impulses out from brain to muscles used for chewing, swallowing, speaking, and facial expression
special visceral
afferent pathway that carry sensory impulses to brain or spinal cord from receptors in skin and skeletal muscles
general somatic
afferent pathway that carry sensory impulses to brain or spinal cord from blood vessels and internal organs
general visceral
afferent pathway that carry sensory impulses to brain from olfactory and taste receptors
special visceral
afferent pathway that carry sensory impulses to brain from receptors for sight, hearing and equilibrium
special somatic
