Neuro Flashcards
Conditioned reflex
Reflexes that are acquired through learning
Integrated at cerebral cortex
E.g Classical & Opparent
Example of classical reflex
Cephalic phase of salivary secretion
Increased HR when you see your crush
Example of opparent reflex
Stopping at a traffic light
Unconditional reflex
It is inborn (innate)
Doesn’t need an intact Cerebral cortex
E.g hypothalamic, midbrain, medullary, spinal
Hypothalamic reflexes
Regulation of temperature
Reg of water balance
Midbrain reflex
Vision and balance
Medullary Reflexes
GIT
respiratory
Cardiovascular
Types of spinal reflex
Superficial
Deep
Visceral
Examples of superficial spinal reflexes
Plantar, abdominal, cremasteric, scratch, grasp, corneal, crossed extensor, positive supporting, withdrawal, anal reflexes
Centers for plantar reflex
L5-S2
Centers for abdominal reflex
Upper: T7-T9
Lower: T10-T12
Centers for cremasteric
L1-L3
Fxn of cerebellum
For fine movement
Properties of sensory receptors
Specificity
Excitability
Discharge of impulse
Adaptation
Sensory cranial nerves
V- vestibulocochlea
O- optic
O- olfactory
