What is reflex reactions?
A reaction from the organism of external and internal stimuli. Based on reflex arc.
Where does the reflex arc go?
Starts at the sensory receptors and ends in the effector organ.
Major components of a reflex arc
a) Receptor
b) Afferent neuron and it´s axon
c) Synapses in the CNS
d) Efferent neuron and it´s axon
e) Target organ
How can reflexes be classified?
On the basis of location of the receptor, the structure of the reflex arc and the location of info. processing
What is proprioceptive reflexes?
Spinal reflexes where the receptors are in the organ that represents the effector response.
Knee jerk reflex:
- Stimulation
- Muscle
- Afferent and efferent nerve
- Segments of the spinal cord
- Normal reaction
- Tapping patellar tendon below the knee
- M.quadriceps femoris
- N.femoralis
- L4
- The leg extends
Ankle jerk reflex:
- Stimulation
- Muscle
- Afferent and efferent nerve
- Segments of the spinal cord
- Normal reaction
- Tapping the Achilles tendon behind the ankle
- M.gastrocnemius, M.soleus
- N.tibialis
- S1
- Stretching the ankle, plantar flexion
Triceps reflex:
- Stimulation
- Muscle
- Afferent and efferent nerve
- Segments of the spinal cord
- Normal reaction
- Tapping the tendon of the triceps, just above the elbow
- M.triceps brachii
- N.radialis
- C6-7
- Stretching the elbow
Biceps reflex
- Stimulation
- Muscle
- Afferent and efferent nerve
- Segments of the spinal cord
- Normal reaction
- Tapping the biceps tendon, above the elbow bent
- M.biceps brachii
- N.musculocutaneus
- C5-6
- Flexion of the elbow
What is exteroceptive reflex?
The receptor is located outside of the effector organ. It is polysynaptic, has long latency period, response is slower and the reflex fatigues. Mainly noiciceptive.
Panniculus reflex:
- Stimulation
- Muscle
- Afferent and efferent nerve
- Segments of the spinal cord
- Normal reaction
- Scratching the skin in the abdominal region
- Skin muscles
- Nn.cutenei trunci
- C2-T1
- Contraction of skin muscles
Flexor reflex and crossed extensor reflex
- Stimulation
- Muscle
- Afferent and efferent nerve
- Segments of the spinal cord
- Normal reaction
- Scratching the pads
- Flexor of the ipsilateral, extensor of the contralateral legs
- Sensory and motor neurons of the finger
- C5-T1 L5-S1
- Bending of fingers and leg, extension on the contralat. side
