Superficial, Pathological, Visceral Reflexes, and Range of Motions Flashcards

1
Q

Superficial reflexes are different from deep tendon or muscle stretch reflexes in that:

A
  • The sensory signal has to reach the spinal cord and ascend the cord to the brain
  • The motor signal has to descend in the cord from the brain to the reach the motor neurons
  • Polysynaptic reflex
