Name two somatic reflexes in which the higer brain centers participate?
Two somatic reflexes that involve higher brain centers are the withdrawal reflex and the crossed extensor reflex. These reflexes involve complex coordination from the brain to produce appropriate responses to stimuli, such as withdrawing a hand from a hot surface or maintaining balance when stepping on a sharp object.
What cord mediated reflexes?
The knee and elbow reflexes
The brain is deep or superficial to the spine cord?
superficial to the spinal cord.
What are two somatic reflexes in which the higher brain centers participate?
The Human Reflex Physiology Review Sheet states that "Conversely, other reflexes require the involvement of the brain, since many different inputs must be evaluated before the appropriate reflex is determined. Superficial cord reflexes and pupillary responses to light are in this category" (p. 342).
Do reflexes always involve the spinal cord?
Yes, the spinal cord controls ALL of your reflexes!
What responsible for autonomic reflexes?
spinal cord
The simplest reflexes are mediated at the level of the?
spinal cord
Why superficial reflexes are lost in upper motor neuron lesion?
because the superficial reflex fibres also come through the umn fibres along with it
Why reflexes are quickly?
reflexes work very quickly, this is because your brain and spinal cord are processing data and information.
What are the kidneys located superficial to?
The kidneys are superficial to the spinal column. The spine and spinal cord are deep to the kidneys.
If someone has a severed spine reflex still occurs?
