What is an effector in a reflex arc?

A

muscle fiber or gland that responds to efferent impulse

51
Q

stretch reflexes initiated by muscle spindles must maintain healthy muscle tone

52
Q

What are muscle spindles composed of?

A

3-10 intrafusal muscle fibers that lack myofilaments in their central regions, are noncontractile, and serve as receptive surfaces

A

contractile and extrafusal fibers are innervated by alpha efferent fibers

55
Q

What happens to muscle spindles during stretch?

A

activates the muscle spindle

there is an increased rate of action potential in Ia fibers

56
Q

What happens to muscle spindles during contaction?

A

reduces tension on the muscle spindle

there is a decreased rate of action potential on Ia fibers

57
Q

What happens during a stretch reflex?

A

stretching activates the muscle spindle
excited alpha motor neurons of the spindle cause the stretched muscle to contract
afferent impulses from the spindle result in inhibition of the anatgonist

58
Q

What is an example of a stretch reflex?

A

patellar reflex
tapping the patellar tendon stretches the quadriceps and starts the reflex action
quadriceps contract and the antagonist hamstrings relax

59
Q

What is the golgi tendon reflex?

A

opposite of stretch reflex
contracting the muscle activates the golgi tendon organs
afferent golgi tendon neurons are stimulated, neurons inhibit the contracting muscle, and the antagonistic muscle is activated
contracting muscle relaxes and the antagonist contracts

60
Q

A

flexor reflex is initiated by a painful stimulus that causes automatic withdrawal of the threatened body part
stimulated side is withdrawn
contralateral side is extended

61
Q

What are superficial reflexes?

A

62
Q

the neurotransmitter released and the receptor type of the effector

72
Q

What do the two divisions of the ANS do?

long preganglionic, short postganglionic

82
Q

Describe visceral reflexes

A

have the same elements as somatic reflexes
always polysynaptic pathways
afferent fibers are found in spinal and autonomic nerves

83
Q

What is referred pain?

A

pain stimuli arising from the viscera are perceived as somatic in origin

84
Q

What causes referred pain?

A

this may be due to the fact that visceral pain afferents travel along the same pathways as somatic pain fibers

85
Q

What are the two major neurotransmitters of the ANS

A

norepinephrine and Ach

86
Q

Where is ACh found in ANS?

A

103
Q

Describe the interactions of the autonomic divisions

inhibit digestion and elimination

105
Q

Broadly, what do parasympathetic fibers do?

Q

What does the sympathetic tone generally do?

A

controls blood pressure and keeps the blood vessels in a continual state of partial constriction

107
Q

What does the sympathetic tone specifically do?

A

constricts blood vessels and causes blood pressure to rise as needed
prompts vessels to dilate if blood pressure is to be de creased
alpha-blocker dugs interfere with vasomotor fibers and are used to treat hypertension

108
Q

What does the parasympathetic tone do?

A
