To determine: The terms short reflex and long reflex, and the response regulated by the short reflex.
Introduction: A reflex is a fast movement of a body part in response to the stimulus. It occurs through a neural pathway that is called the reflex arc.
To determine: The response regulated by the short reflex.
Introduction: The reflex arc acts on the impulses before an impulse reaches the brain.
A reflex is defined as the response of the body to the stimulus. It occurs through a neural pathway that is called the reflex arc.
To determine: The terms long reflex.
Introduction: the reflexes are categorized in two type, somatic reflexes and visceral reflexes. Somatic reflexes involves sensory neurons whereas, visceral neurons involve craniosacral system.

What function does the respective cell have?arrow_forward
- How is a short reflex distinguished from a long reflex?arrow_forwardThe Baroreceptor reflex illustrates very well the principles and elements of a negative feedback loop.1) What is the typical circumstance in which the baroreceptor reflex is stimulated? What is the stimulus for the reflex and the response?2a) Using the terms for a homeostatic negative feedback loop or a reflex, describe both the function AND anatomical elements serving that function for each of the following as it applies to the baroreceptor reflex known as: an effector. 2b) applied to the baroreceptor reflex known as: the integration center?arrow_forwardWhat is Raynaud’s disease and mass action reflex?arrow_forward
- What are the components of a reflex arc and what is the difference between a somatic motor reflex and a visceral reflex arc?arrow_forwardWhat is the physiological function of chemical and electrical synapses between reflexes (eg. a Knee Reflex and jerk reflex).arrow_forward2) The correct order of a reflex arc is: a) sensory neuron, sensory receptor, interneuron, motor neuron, effector b) sensory neuron, sensory receptor, interneuron, effector, motor neuron c) sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, effector d) sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, effector, motor neuronarrow_forward
