Introduction. Spinal cord reflexes are simple behaviors produced by central nervous system (CNS) pathways that lie entirely within the spinal cord. The sensory afferent fibers that evoke these reflexes enter the spinal cord and activate spinal motor neurons directly or through a chain of one or more spinal interneurons

What cord mediated reflexes?
The knee and elbow reflexes
Do reflexes occur in the spinal cord?
the spinal cords role in reflexes is to help you move about when it is needed when reacting to a stimuli
Do reflexes always involve the spinal cord?
Yes, the spinal cord controls ALL of your reflexes!
What responsible for autonomic reflexes?
spinal cord
If someone has a severed spine reflex still occurs?
Yes, reflexes can still occur even if the spine is severed because some reflexes are controlled by the spinal cord itself without involvement of the brain. These are known as spinal reflexes.
What is the homeostatic value of flexor reflexes?
Reflexes help to maintain homeostasis by permitting the body to make exceedingly rapid adjustments to homeostatic imbalances (The Spinal Cord and Spinal Nerves).
The simplest reflexes are mediated at the level of the?
spinal cord
Why reflexes are quickly?
reflexes work very quickly, this is because your brain and spinal cord are processing data and information.
What are the three major functions of the spinal cord?
conduction,locomotion,reflexes
What is the area of the nervous system that is responsible for mediating reflexes?
The spinal cord.
The spinal column controls involuntary movements called?
Spinal reflexes are involuntary movements produced by a single loop involving a sensory neuron, sometimes an intermediary neuron, and a motor neuron. A couple of examples include the deep tendon reflexes, such as the patellar reflex and the biceps reflex, and the reflex that causes one to recoil from painful stimuli, such as touching a hot surface.
Does the spinal cord serve as the center for sub-conscious thought or reflex action or habits or synapses?
The spinal cord serves as the center for reflexes. Reflexes don't enter the brain and all, which is a good thing because it is too slow for reflexes to work to protect us from harm.
