52
Q

Reflex

A

A rapid automatic response to a stimulus

53
Q

Reflex arcs a series of steps

A
  1. Apply a stimulus–> activates a sensory receptor
  2. Activates afferent neuron (sends to CNS)
  3. CNS processing all the info( brain/ spinal cord)
  4. Activate efferent neuron
  5. Response of the effector organ–> muscle contracts/ gland secretes
54
Q

Types of reflexes based upon:

A
  1. Site of CNS processing (in/out of 1)

A. Cranial
B. Spinal

  1. # of synapses in reflex arc

A. Monosynaptic
B. Polysynaptic
